In certain Detroit zip codes, residents are nearly twice as likely to die of heart disease and are crushed under high rates of hypertension, diabetes and obesity. Healthy food is hard to reach and social safety nets are being pulled back. We cannot let the communities that have always carried the heaviest burden fall further behind.

Today, we’re in Detroit to launch the HEART Initiative — a five-year effort led by the Meharry Medical College School of Global Health, in partnership with Corewell Health, Loma Linda University Health and NovartisUS, community leaders, SGH students, and national partners, created to change that. Because it doesn’t have to be this way.

To our Master of Public Health graduates,

Today, we honor a remarkable class of public health leaders who have carried forward Meharry’s legacy with strength, brilliance, and purpose. As graduates of our legacy MPH program, you stand on the shoulders of generations of leaders who believed that health is a human right and that communities deserve advocates willing to fight for equity, dignity, and justice.

During Meharry’s sesquicentennial year, your hooding ceremony represents more than an academic achievement, it is a reflection of the impact you are prepared to make in communities across the nation and around the world.

Wherever your journey takes you next, carry the spirit of Meharry with you: courage, service, excellence, and . The communities you serve will be stronger because of you.

Congratulations, MPH Class of 2026. Your leadership is not only needed, it is transformative.

To our M7,

Today, we celebrate you. The inaugural Master of Science in Health Equity and Master of Science in Health Law, Policy and Management graduates who answered the call to lead differently, think boldly, and serve with purpose.

You came to Meharry during a historic moment in our 150-year legacy and helped shape what the future of the School of Global Health would become. You challenged conversations, built community, supported one another, and embodied the spirit of every step of the way.

As you cross the stage at today’s hooding ceremony, know that you are leaving not only with degrees, but with the responsibility to change systems, challenge inequities, and lead with courage in every room you enter.

M7, thank you for being the first. Thank you for believing in this vision. And thank you for helping us make history.

Once Meharry, always Meharry. Congratulations, Class of 2026. 🖤✨

What an incredible evening! The Meharry School of Global Health closed out another successful APHA reception filled with meaningful conversations, new connections, and shared commitment to advancing health equity.

We were proud to celebrate the release of “Mental Health Equity”, authored by Dean Daniel E. Dawes, Vice Dean Nelson J. Dunlap, and Dr. Octavio N. Martinez—and to hear from an inspiring panel of mental health experts who reminded us why our work matters.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and continues to champion equity, justice, and the power of collaboration. Together, we’re making health inequities history.
