Welcome to the Geo-Health Research Group!
The Geo-Health Research Group (GHRG) focuses on projects about the geographies of health and healthcare in cities and metropolitan areas. Members of the GHRG are interested in spatial patterns of disease transmission, health behaviors and everyday activities, immigrant health, the accessibility of healthcare services, the health and health care of minority groups, and public health policy.
Dr. Lu Wang is the PI of the project and leader of the research group.
