Commitment to Community Service in New York City
The only accredited school of public health in New York City, and among the first in the nation, the Mailman School's research, education, and service agenda addresses the critical and complex public health issues that affect millions of people locally and globally. For three decades, the Mailman School has been committed to addressing the health needs of the Washington Heights and Harlem communities. The School addresses a number of issues from immunization to asthma and environmental health to school-based health clinics and HIV/AIDS education.
Commitment to Community Service Globally
Spanning 80 countries around the globe today, Mailman School programs address such issues as infectious disease, environmental health, maternal and child health, and bioterrorism and disease surveillance. Mailman School programs emphasize capacity building and training in order to promote transferable knowledge and skills and to ensure the sustainability of our projects over time. The School has an outstanding record of global health funding having received the largest public and private gifts in Columbia University's history including: $50 million from the Gates Foundation in 1999 for the Averting Maternal Death and Disability Program; $125 million from the CDC in 2004 for the Multicountry Antiretroviral Program in Africa; and, in 2006 an anonymous grant of $80 million for the Reproductive Health Access, Information and Services in Emergencies (RAISE) Initiative. Through our strong partnerships with international, regional, national, and local public and private institutions, Mailman students and graduates are presented with endless opportunities to make an impact locally, nationally, and globally.
