AT THE FOREFRONT
The Harvard School of Public Health, or HSPH, traces its history to the first professional training program in public health in the United States.

Been at the forefront of efforts to stem disease and promote health worldwide.

FAR-REACHING IMPACT
If you have been vaccinated for polio, stepped up your exercise program, never smoked, or been a designated driver, HSPH has affected your life for the better. From its beginning, the school hasdriven the improvement of the public’s length and quality of life. During the early years the focus was on infectious diseases, deadly workplace exposures, and sanitation – from Alice Hamilton’s pioneering studies of lead and mercury poisoning to Thomas Weller’s pathbreaking research on the polio virus and Philip Drinker’s invention of the iron lung. More recently HSPH has expanded its reach to newareas, including the effects of race, gender, class, and social isolation on health; the reform of national health systems; and cutting-edge research on the biomarkers of disease. Three Nobel Prizes, a Lasker Prize, five MacArthur Awards, presidential citations, and countless other honors attest to the excellence and significance of this work; and six HSPH alumni have led the U.S. Centers forDisease Control and Prevention.
