The Northwest Public Health magazine is published by the University of Washington School of Public Health and produced by the Northwest Center for Public Health Practice. The publication is dedicated to the art and science of public health, specifically the Northwest region. We feature developments from state, local and tribal public health from Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming. We also highlight the cutting-edge work done by the diverse disciplines at the University of Washington School of Public Health, including biostatistics, environmental health, epidemiology, global health and health services.
Our opinion pieces and profiles share the passions and stories of public health personalities. Finally, our feature articles invite readers in with quotes, stories and conversational prose. We hope you find our publication compelling, whether you are a public health veteran, or simply someone who shares our commitment to improving the health of communities.
