Engaging Communities, Eliminating Health Disparities, Advancing Social Justice
Mission
Since 2011, the Center for Health Equity (CHE) seeks to understand and ultimately eliminate health inequities in under resourced, vulnerable, and underserved communities and populations, particularly those in Western Pennsylvania. CHE addresses issues attributed to institutional racism, builds strategic partnerships across sectors and communities, acknowledges a social equity in all policies perspective, and the public sector's role in achieving health equity for its citizenry.
About CHE
The Community Research Advisory Board (CRAB) is a group of faculty and community stakeholders that host monthly meetings to provide consultation to researchers interested in engaging community members in research projects. The CRAB aims to ensure that research studies are culturally sensitive and relevant.
Designed to increase the cultural competency of public health and other professionals, this innovative 15-credit health equity graduate certificate program addresses the systemic root causes of health disparities.
We're excited about a new Center of Excellence with a mission to train the next generation of public health leaders committed to improving outcomes for birthing people, children and families. Graduate students and postdocs across Pitt can choose from three levels of engagement based on their goals. Contact tchapple@pitt.edu for more information.
