About Us

The VCU Center on Health Advancement  falls within the School of Medicine (with some responsibilities under the VCU Office of Research) and employs affiliate faculty from schools on both the MCV and Monroe Park campuses. We are humbled by the success of our research, research training and community engagement initiatives that have uniquely positioned VCU to provide health education and advocacy, as well as build collaborative partnerships that facilitate scientific discovery.
