Public health surrounds us in ways we rarely notice—from the lead-free water we drink to the nutritious food we eat and the clean air we breathe. These everyday protections stem directly from groundbreaking research at Harvard Chan School that safeguards millions of lives simultaneously.
While doctors treat one patient at a time, Harvard Chan researchers transform entire systems—revolutionizing HIV treatment, preventing cancer, reducing gun violence, and preparing for future pandemics. The School’s faculty have demonstrated the dangers of air pollution leading to tighter clean air standards, pioneered the field of cancer genetics, illuminated the impacts of racism on health, and played crucial roles in global health initiatives from polio eradication to pandemic response.
For over a century, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health has worked toward a world where everyone can thrive. This vital work depends on support to continue its impact—because public health isn’t just a discipline, it’s a goal that gives everyone the chance to live a healthier life.
