 Founded in 1915, Yale's School of Public Health is one of the oldest of the nationally accredited schools of public health.It began when, in 1914, the University received an endowment from the Lauder Greenway Family to establish a chair in public health at the Yale Medical School.This chair was filled a year later by Charles-Edward Amory Winslow, who was and is still considered to be the “founder of public health” at Yale.
