Health Promotion

Our department envisions itself as a center of excellence and innovation dedicated to health promotion and disease prevention in Nebraska, nationally and internationally. 

We take an honest look at why different groups of people have different health outcomes, and then work hard to improve health for all. Through high-quality research, training, and outreach, we join in with individuals, families, and communities to reach their individual health goals. 

We also take pride in nurturing and mentoring the next generation of public health professionals to gain a shared understanding of good health and bring their knowledge to the communities they serve. From studying maternal and child health and indigenous health, to chronic diseases, our experienced department works to ensure the world we share is a healthier place.
