CHS Mission
Group Health Center for Health Studies (CHS) was founded by Group
Health Cooperative to promote the prevention and effective treatment
of major health problems—benefiting Group Health members and the
general public. To that end, scientists at Group Health Center for
Health Studies conduct epidemiologic, health services, behavioral, and
clinical research addressing a wide and evolving range of clinical and
public health questions. Research training and dissemination of
research findings are essential to the Center’s mission.
Collaborations with other academic institutions are key to the
Center’s success.
Research activities central to the Center’s mission include:
- developing and testing innovative approaches for both
preventing and effectively treating major health problems
- organizing health care delivery to improve the health of
entire populations
- translating scientific knowledge into effective and efficient
clinical practice
- informing policy decisions regarding the structure,
organization, and financing of health care
The Center accomplishes these goals through
diverse
programs of research conducted within and beyond the enrolled
population of Group Health Cooperative.
