Welcome from the Dean
Welcome to the Parkinson School of Health Sciences and Public Health
As we prepare for the 2024-25 academic year, we are also embarking on a year-long celebration of the Parkinson School of Health Sciences and Public Health which was founded five years ago!
Loyola University Chicago’s Parkinson School brings together our call as a Jesuit institution to go to the frontiers of education, research, and practice and to help people who live at the margins. Forged during a global pandemic on the belief that access to good health is a fundamental human right, Parkinson was created to develop solutions to real-time challenges of ever-changing health issues that affect society. To accomplish this, we reimagined education by combining public health and health care together to accelerate coordinated collaboration and interdisciplinary learning. Critical thinkers and entrepreneurial problem solvers, we are catalysts rethinking ways to improve the health of society through public-private relationships and creating better health outcomes for all.
We hope you will join us throughout the coming year as we celebrate all that we have achieved in our first five years through our academic and research missions, flagship events tackling pressing health care issues, and community partnerships designed to uplift health systems and individual lives. More importantly, we hope you will help us celebrate the Parkinson School’s bright future as we continue Reimagining the future of health, today.
Sincerely,
