About Us

The Migration & Health Society was established by MPH students in 2021 to increase awareness of, promote advocacy towards, and engage in efforts to improve public health for displaced and other mobile populations (including refugees, IDPs, undocumented immigrants, and other migrant groups). Through knowledge sharing and outreach efforts, Society members work with other graduate students, faculty, and community members to achieve three main goals: 1) educate, advocate, and act on migrant health issues within Baltimore, nationally, and globally; 2) establish a network of community partners supporting displaced populations; 3) examine underlying factors contributing to forced migration.
