About Us

The Center for Urban Population Health was officially established in April 2001 as a partnership of the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health (UWSMPH), Aurora Health Care (AHC), and the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee's College of Health Sciences (UWM CHS). Our mission is to conduct and facilitate original population health research and educational initiatives that improve the health of urban communities through collaboration with academic and community organizations. The research program of the Center for Urban Population Health is population-focused and community-based, with a health and wellness perspective and a strong commitment to cultural diversity. The Center's research programs focus on projects that address the health needs of women and children, the aging population, minority groups, and the economically disadvantaged. As a destination for interdisciplinary population health research, the Center has identified three special initiatives that it will focus resources on in 2008. These include but are not limited to:

Maternal and Infant Health,

High Risk Youth Behaviors/Public Safety, and

Healthy Aging.
