Public Health Post.
Public Health Post (PHP) helps drive the conversation on health in America.
Public Health Post is a daily population health magazine written by public health students and practitioners, and edited by experts.
Our mission is to spotlight critical intersections in public health and social justice to advance conversations about health in urban and rural communities across the United States.
Every day, we feature population health stories that break down recent academic research, explain data graphics, or present original interviews with leading voices in the field. Our stories are produced by a small cohort of Boston University School of Public Health MPH students undergoing a rigorous, year-long communications fellowship. PHP fellows choose the topics they cover, and often focus on populations, communities, and locations of personal interest to them. We tackle a range of public health issues, from the loneliness epidemic and the decline in childhood vaccinations to contraceptives for men and the presence of “forever chemicals” in our day-to-day lives. We are read in all 50 states and in 150 countries.
Together, we are helping to drive—and reshape—the national dialogue on public health concerns.
“Our goal is to share with readers a wide range of public health topics that speak to the conditions under which we live, the challenges of different populations across the country, and the range of social, cultural, and economic environments that make us healthy or unhealthy,” says Michael Stein, editor-at-large of PHP and chair of the Department of Health Law, Policy & Management at SPH. “No other single media site finds and publishes the stories that we do.”
Your gifts can help advance the mission of Public Health Post in many ways, such as by sponsoring fellowships to train the next generation of public health scholars and journalists.
