Description: Every organization — whether in the health sector or not — impacts the public’s health. The Harvard Culture of Health (COH) team believes health is good for business and should be a pervasive part of a company’s culture, not differentiated from the credo and every day practices that serve as the foundation for business. Therefore, our work focuses on how business and public health leaders can play an active role in shaping and fostering a Culture of Health through business practices that both serve their bottom line and improve health across the Corporate Four Pillars. We believe this can be done by companies across all industries, irrespective of size. The Harvard Culture of Health Program is a joint initiative between faculty from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and the Harvard Business School.

Description: Using an interdisciplinary approach, the Exposure, Epidemiology and Risk Program (part of the Department of Environmental Health at the Harvard T.H. Chan School in Boston, Massachusetts) seeks to investigate and mitigate heath risks associated with environmental and occupational hazards and provide scientific evidence for sound environmental and health policies. Topics the program is investigating include the cognitive and cardiovascular effects of lead exposure, the effects of air pollution on respiratory and cardiovascular health, airborne infection transmission and health effects of bioaerosols, the effects of infectious agents and disinfection by products in drinking water, biomarkers of environmental exposure, genetic susceptibility to environmentally induced malignancies, and acute and chronic musculoskeletal effects of the work and built environment (ergonomics and safety). Faculty members measure and model ambient, indoor, and personal exposures to environmental and workplace contaminants, and develop instruments and methods for characterizing environmental factors such as pollutants. Advanced analytic/statistical methods are used to associate health outcomes with environmental factors. An important component of the EER Program is training; the program offers both Master’s and Doctoral Degrees. Currently there are 31 Doctoral and 29 Master’s students enrolled. Collaborative teaching and research are conducted in many countries, including Mexico, Chile, China, Colombia, Cyprus, Greece, Russia, Argentina, Taiwan, Japan, and the Netherlands.

Description: The Environmental & Occupational Medicine and Epidemiology Program (EOME), part of the Department of Environmental Health at the Harvard T.H. Chan School in Boston, Massachusetts, aims to investigate and prevent health risks associated with environmental and occupational hazards. We achieve this by conducting original research and providing outstanding professional education. The EOME faculty are considered pioneers in the national and international community, paving the way for research and education in the environmental and occupational health field. Program Director, Dr. David Christiani, has set this standard through his research, which includes ground-breaking international studies as well as innovative work on cancer and respiratory disease in the United States. The program has recruited and cultivated a talented faculty whose expertise in environmental epidemiology has been at the forefront in the study of reproductive, perinatal, neurological and respiratory diseases.

Description: The Program in Health Care Financing in the Department of Health Policy and Management at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston, Massachusetts seeks to develop a systematic framework for the evaluation of health systems, as well as perform interdisciplinary research focusing on the relationship between economic development and health. The Program has a small core staff and operates through collaborations with investigators elsewhere at Harvard and at other sites throughout the world. The Director of the Program is William C. Hsiao, the K.T. Li Professor of Economics at the Harvard School of Public Health. A renown economist with decades of international experience in designing and implementing national health system reforms, Professor Hsiao is also a very appreciated teacher and mentor. He has advised many doctoral students at the school and is the recipient of multiple teaching awards. His research is focused on payment methods for hospitals and physicians in the context of national health insurance programs. Examples of his work include development of the Resource-Based Relative Value Scale, and leadership of an ongoing social experiment in China, funded by the Gates Foundation with the goal of reforming rural health care in that country. The latter project involves the design and introduction of universal health insurance, integration of the currently fragmented health care delivery system, and reform of the payment system to remunerate providers based on capitation and performance. Winnie Chi-Man Yip is an associate Professor who directs an inter-disciplinary study to examine the dynamic social, cultural, psychological and economic determinants of health and well-being in rural China.
