The College of Public Health is striving for a healthier tomorrow. Through education, research, and statewide programs, our students and faculty are on the frontline of making their communities a healthier place. Our students become alumni who manage healthcare systems, serve in health departments, and research vital information needed to improve the lives of all Kentuckians.
Whether their impact is in one of the Commonwealth's 120 counties or across the globe, the UK College of Public Health community is key to achieving healthier communities. Your financial support enhances the impact we have daily. Please consider making a gift to the CPH Excellence Fund or to an area of the College that means the most to you!
