Education transforms lives. The Public Health program at Wright State University has impacted our community and students, producing leaders who shape their communities with values of diversity, opportunity, and generosity.
As we celebrate 20 years of excellence, we reaffirm our mission to transform lives and communities through curiosity, adaptability, and innovation.
Our Journey
Founded in 2005, the Department of Population and Public Health Services was established with the generous support of Oscar Boonshoft, the namesake of our School of Medicine. With his charge, Wright State embraced the challenge to lead—advancing science, improving healthcare, and expanding access to quality care.
As the first M.P.H. program in southwest Ohio, we’ve championed interdisciplinary education and impactful research while forging strong community partnerships across the Miami Valley. Today, we reflect on two decades of leadership, innovation, and service as we look forward to what is to come.
