Cornell University Health Impacts Core

Advancing Health Impact with Communities

 

Welcome to the Health Impacts Core 

The Health Impacts Core is a key program within Cornell University’s Department of Public and Ecosystem Health. We leverage coordination and collaboration efforts to unite community partners, content experts, and qualified public health students to advance health and well-being sustainably and equitably for all people.

Visit the page on What We Do to learn more about our approaches, which include: Collaborative Planning, Capacity Building, and Action Research and Evaluation. Our evidence-informed approach places community partners at the center of exploration, planning, implementation, evaluation, and dissemination. We use community engagement and community-based participatory approaches, including human-centered design and implementation science, to build collective capacity for applied, impact-focused projects. 

This website contains information about the Health Impacts Core, the projects we are devoted to, helpful resources, and ways to collaborate with us.
