Community Partners & Collaboration

Community is the heart of our mission at the Emory & Henry School of Health Sciences.

The building our programs call home was built by the local community who believed in the need for local quality healthcare. That spirit of service and caring extends today beyond the bricks & mortar as a guiding philosophy to inspire tomorrow’s healthcare innovators.

The Emory & Henry School of Health Sciences would not have been possible without the support and enthusiasm of the local community. We celebrate our community partners and opportunities to strengthen our relationships with continued collaboration.
