Public Health Magazine | Spring 2010
Following the January earthquake in Haiti, President Obama wrote in Newsweek, "Above all, we act for a very simple reason: in times of tragedy, the United States steps forward and helps. That is who we are. That is what we do." The same can be said of Rollins students and alumni. In times of disaster, they are trained to help communities and nations recover and move forward.

About the Magazine
Public Health is published by the Rollins School of Public Health, a component of the Woodruff Health Sciences Center of Emory University.
On the Cover: Following the earthquake in Haiti, RSPH student Jean Cadet volunteered to work there, not once, but twice. Emory photographer Bryan Meltz accompanied him on his second trip to work with the Haiti Humanitarian Fund, a faith-based organization. Meltz's cover photo shows Cadet in the medical clinic in the town of Los Palis in central Haiti. Several of Meltz's photos are featured in "Stories from Haiti".
