Urban Health Collaborative
The Urban Health Collaborative is an interdisciplinary research, policy, community outreach and training center at the Drexel University Dornsife School of Public Health. The Collaborative aims to improve health in cities by increasing scientific knowledge and public awareness of health and health variation in cities.
In 2015, the Dornsife School of Public Health was named in honor of a transformative gift from philanthropists Dana and David Dornsife. Through this generous gift, the Urban Health Collaborative was established under the leadership of Dean Ana Diez Roux, MD, PhD, MPH. Our pioneering center strengthens Drexel's commitment to urban health and empowers the School to make a different in the health of cities, locally and globally.
