Center for Health Equity and Precision Public Health

The new Center for Health Equity and Precision Public Health (CHEPPH) is led by Keith L. Keene, PhD, its inaugural director.  Dr. Keene is a Professor of Public Health Sciences in the UVA School of Medicine and also works closely with the Center for Public Health Genomics.

As director of the CHEPPH, Dr. Keene is working to grow an interdisciplinary center devoted to integrating Precision Medicine, Public Health, and Health Informatics approaches to improve the health and well-being of rural, economically challenged, and racial/ethnic-minority populations. The CHEPPH will utilize inclusive approaches to reduce disparities, promote health equity, and create a diverse workforce population where every person has the opportunity to “attain his or her full health potential”.
