The Role of Data in Public Health Equity & Innovation ConferenceAt the Yale School of Public Health, we believe that the future of public health will be defined by four pillars: inclusivity, innovation and entrepreneurship, communication, and data-driven leadership.

To better achieve health for all, the globe needs collaborators across the data life cycle—ranging from academics to government to the private sector—to work together to overcome these barriers to health data equity.
