CEA Winslow Award
The CEA Winslow Award is presented to a public health professional who has demonstrated leadership and achievement in practice, research, and/or education. The award commemorates Charles-Edward Amory Winslow (1877-1957), a pioneer in public health and medicine, who is credited with founding the second-oldest school of public health in the country at Yale University. Among the most widely-quoted health leaders of his time, Dr. Winslow believed that equal in weight with scientific ideas about health and disease was a commitment to social justice – that social ills must be first in the "conquest of epidemic disease.”
