A new era in health begins here

Driving innovation in medicine and health care.


Through ASU Health, Arizona State University is accelerating its health-related efforts to serve the state’s urgent health care needs, now and into the future.

To improve health outcomes for families across Arizona, ASU is: 

  • Launching the John Shufeldt School of Medicine and Medical Engineering with the first cohort starting this summer.
  • Growing the School of Technology for Public Health with the school’s first students graduating this spring.
  • Establishing the Health Observatory to protect the health of Arizonans.
  • Developing a future-ready health care workforce across ASU.

ASU Health is transforming how health care is designed, delivered and measured, partnering with health care providers and conducting research of public value while educating new physician-engineers, nurses, public health innovators, specialists, technologists, health scientists. It is a comprehensive effort to gather the data, work with other leaders in the industry, and to produce the health care workforce that will advance  Arizona’s health on a daily basis.

ASU Health will produce a different kind of health care professional, leaders who blend science, engineering, technology and humanities for greater, more empathetic impact. Graduates will leverage tools like AI and data science to broaden access and develop innovative practices. Alongside the communities we serve — families at home, schools and school districts, hospitals, clinics, pharmacies — ASU Health will seek out impactful ways to improve health outcomes for all.

A new kind of health care.


ASU Health focuses the country’s most innovative university – and its large, diverse and interdisciplinary ecosystem – on the health needs facing the state and the nation.

ASU Health initiatives will transform health care delivery, embrace technology as a tool to improve health, and help address the shortage of doctors, nurses and other health care workers in our communities. 

ASU Health also will reimagine the very design of health care, create a new kind of health professional, develop platforms that will radically change outcomes, and rethink and evolve the entire patient experience.
