Our Mission

The Center for Health Policy (CHP), a research center of the Columbia University School of Nursing, works with institutional partners at the local, state, and national levels to develop and evaluate health policy initiatives as well as translate research findings into effective policies. Research is an integral component of the CHP mission. Center faculty engage in health services research that broadens students' educational experiences and expands the state of knowledge about the functionality of health services systems. Faculty research on issues related to the organization, delivery and cost-effectiveness of health services is fundamental to the quality of the program. The dissemination and translation of new knowledge through multiple sources contributes to efforts to improve the availability, affordability, and effectiveness of health services and develop policies that reinforce these objectives.
