FAY W. BOOZMAN COLLEGE OF PUBLIC HEALTH

The mission of the Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health is to improve health and promote well-being of individuals, families, and communities in Arkansas through education, research, and service.

We believe that, at its core, public health is about social justice - what's best for all of us, not just a few. We define "health" broadly, to include all those things which allow individuals, families, and communities to become healthier.

The Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health includes the shared missions of:

• meeting the public health workforce needs for the future
  
  
• demonstrating how public health approaches can address the health needs of Arkansans via model community programs

Pilot sites for teaching and learning also serve as innovative laboratories for new and creative approaches to old problems. Students learn, with the expert aid of local citizens, schools, hospitals, and faith groups about community-based health improvement.
