Thank you for donating to the O'Brien Institute for Public Health

In the wake of a global pandemic, a local E. coli outbreak, and the continuing drug poisoning crisis, Calgarians have witnessed first-hand how public health emergencies can affect everyone on a personal and societal level. We are becoming aware of the importance of public health expertise in times of emergencies, and how science can save lives in real time. This is the purpose of the O'Brien Institute for Public Health – to foster research to inform how communities, health-care systems and decision makers solve the biggest public health challenges.

The O'Brien Institute sets itself apart from other research entities by connecting knowledge and need, functioning at the intersection of science and society. It serves this mission by catalyzing, optimizing, and mobilizing a broad range of research, from medicine to engineering, and from environmental sciences to economics. By enabling and sharing the scientific understanding required to tackle acute health care crises, or needed to improve access to care or strengthen the overall health of the population, the Institute is uniquely positioned to make the world we live in healthier.
