At the Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health, we strive to protect the health of people and communities where they live, learn, work and play because it is what is best for everyone, not just the individual. Our focus is to encourage healthy lifestyles, prevent morbidity and mortality and determine the best methods to promote health through policy. The College of Public Health offers certificate, master, doctoral and combined-degree programs to help educate and grow the field of public health in Arkansas.
This year, we honor the work and dedication of Joseph H. Bates, M.D., M.S.and John Baker, Ph.D., MBA. Dr. Bates has dedicated his life to improving the needs of Arkansans who are at the greatest risk of poor health, and continues to serve as an expert physician on public and population health issues across the state. Dr. Baker’s leadership was instrumental to the success of the UAMS Master of Health Administration program and he has served as an exemplary educator and mentor. Today, the MHA program continues to propel expert health care administrators to prominent leadership positions in Arkansas and across the nation.
We hope our community will join with us to support Dr. Bates and Dr. Baker in the same spirit of generosity for public health issues. A gift to any of our public health initiatives will greatly impact the health of all Arkansans.
