Your Gifts Matter!

Your sustaining support for the University of Iowa College of Public Health provides essential resources. Your gift supports:

• The Department of Biostatistics, which helps ensure the safety of new drugs for society. For instance, the department is operating the data coordinating center for an NIH-funded international consortium studying innovative treatments for diabetes.
• The Department of Community and Behavioral Health, which develops and administers initiatives such as Quitline Iowa, a toll-free, statewide smoking-cessation hotline. So far, approximately 5,000 Iowans have called 1-866-U-CAN-TRY for information and resources.
• The Department of Epidemiology, which conducts research on avian flu viruses and other dangerous diseases, with the goal of early detection and decreased spread.
• The Department of Health Management and Policy, which is developing a long-term care assessment and counseling program to educate elders about available services that can help them stay in their own homes-and lead productive and fulfilling lives-as long as possible.
• The Department of Occupational and Environmental Health, which is part of an important new nationwide initiative designed to prevent deaths and injuries from tractor overturns and other tractor-related incidents.
