Hae-In’s project focuses on developing a Community Health Needs Assessment/Community Health Improvement Plan for Boston Children’s Hospital through community engagement and data analysis.
Hae-In is an MPH-65 student in the SBS department. Before coming to Harvard Hae-In worked for non-profits and local government in sunny Southern California. Hae-In has been trained around program evaluation, community engagement and needs assessments. In her future career Hae-In is interested in addressing health inequities by looking at ‘upstream’ factors of health such as employment, housing and education. Hae-In hopes to do this through community engagement and cross-sectoral collaboration. Her position with Boston Children’s this summer will provide her an opportunity to practice shared leadership in identifying community-level health needs.
