CURIS - Public Health Advocacy
CURIS (“cares” in Latin) is an undergraduate student organization at the University of Michigan dedicated to raising awareness about public health issues and enacting local change. We partner with community-based organizations and research groups throughout Southeast Michigan to work on semester-long projects that aim to provide community members with resources, education, and support to improve their health.
OUR VALUES
Equity
Understanding the high degree of health inequity in the world, we seek to focus on removing barriers to healthcare, amplifying marginilized voices, and ensuring community members are healthy in their neighborhoods.
Compassion
We are dedicated to working with the local community and continually educating ourselves to strive for a compassionate understanding of individuals' unique lived experiences and circumstances.
Partnership
By engaging in local partnerships, we are dedicated to fostering an environment where collaborative solutions and collective determination meaningfully impact our local community.
Humility
Public health is built by the community, for the community. We understand that everyone brings distinct experiences and perspectives to the table, and we strive to be open-minded and learn from others.
