Ensuring Community Health

UMass Medical School strives to have a significant impact in the world—locally, nationally and globally. We accomplish this goal by focusing on translation of current research, knowledge, and capabilities to improve care delivery and health outcomes. Breakthrough discoveries are coupled with the creation of systems for translating those findings to pioneering care for our community, the commonwealth and the world. And expertise and resources are applied to improve the health and quality of life for the communities we serve. Here are some examples:

At-Home Care for Children
Cultural Immersion Medical Education
