Public Health Annual Fund

Public Health Annual Fund

Imagine a world free of obesity-related diseases.

Imagine a world in which health care is excellent and accessible.

Imagine a world of healthy and active older persons.

Imagine a world of children who have long, healthy lives ahead of them.

Fox Wetle Brown's Public Health Program is making this vision a reality. Faculty and students are testing treatments for AIDS, studying how environmental exposures increase cancer risk, developing methods to raise health care quality and contain cost, creating interventions to promote healthier behaviors, and working to understand healthy aging. These efforts and others support the Program's overarching aim: to advance, extend, and improve human health and life, now and in the decades to come.

You can support these efforts with a gift to the Brown Public Health Annual Fund (BPHAF). Modeled after the successful Brown Medical Annual Fund, the BPHAF provides current use dollars that are put to work immediately, providing funding for faculty development activities and for faculty research and travel. As it grows, the Fund will also supply scholarship funds for students pursuing a master's in public health and graduate students in other master's and doctoral level programs throughout Public Health.
