The UW Department of Health Systems and Population Health (HSPop) supports, connects, and celebrates its alumni who work around the world and country on some of the most pressing public health issues.
Our alumni transform communities, lead health organizations, find solutions to emerging public health challenges, promote the latest evidence-based practices and interventions, respond to rapidly evolving disease outbreaks, and so much more — saving and improving millions of lives.
