Our Health Studies Program educates individuals for interdisciplinary, collaborative health care practice in local, regional, national, and global environments. Students will learn how to provide health-related services in communities with an emphasis on vulnerable populations and value the contributions of community members and stakeholders to the health of communities.
Why Study Health Studies at La Salle?
Students will be equipped to serve the health-care needs of vulnerable populations in communities by advocating for changes in healthcare and community systems and by providing health education.
Our faculty encourage students to explore, experience, and excel in a teaching-learning environment that fosters scholarship, collegiality, respect, and collaboration among learners and teachers.
