Over the course of the UW’s 25-year vision for the Population Health Initiative, the president and provost recognize the need to stay nimble with respect to the leadership of, and the individuals involved with, this effort.
The Initiative’s internal governance group, its executive council, draws from the expertise of senior leaders, faculty, students and staff representing a range of contributing colleges, schools, programs and stakeholder units.
