Center for Health Policy

Director, Kathryn Whetten, PhD

The Center for Health Policy (CHP) strives to serve the university as the coordination center for health policy. It is the instigator and facilitator of a broad range of interdisciplinary research related to public health and the policies that address it, finding evidence-based solutions to differences in health outcomes.

A core project of the CHP is the Health Inequalities Program (HIP). This program tests and translates interventions to reduce health disparities through training, information technology, evaluation, and international development. A major emphasis of HIP is to address health inequalities in populations which are disadvantaged in terms of race/ethnicity, gender, income, geography and other social factors.

CHP also sponsors the Health Policy Certificate program for undergraduates and graduates.
