Global and Community Health

Welcome

The Global and Community Health Program at the School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation is committed to advancing health and wellbeing through collaborative research, teaching and service with partners both locally, across Indiana and around the globe.

Community based efforts to improve health in Indiana include the AmeriCorps State program AmeriCorps Improving Health Throughout Indiana, which is sponsored by the Department of Applied Health Science at the School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation. The goal of the program is to help eliminate health disparities in Indiana by promoting healthy weight management through proper nutrition and physical activity.

Similarly, the Global and Community Health Program also supports collaborative efforts and affiliations with a global network of universities, institutions and agencies dedicated to improving health and wellbeing.

The Global and Community Health Program is integrated across the School Departments of Applied Health Science, Kinesiology and Recreation, Park and Tourism Studies.
