We Are Michigan Public Health
Get to know the students, faculty, staff and alumni building a better future with public health.
Rob Davidson
Dr. Rob Davidson has served patients in his community for nearly two decades in a rural west Michigan ER. Using that experience he's become a vocal advocate for state and national policies to expand affordable healthcare to all patients. He discusses how he's earning his MPH as an online master’s student, while battling COVID-19 on the frontlines and fighting for health care policy in the media.
Mysheika Roberts
MPH '94, Health Behavior and Health Education; First Black health commissioner in
Columbus
When basketball superstar and Michigan native Earvin “Magic” Johnson of the Los Angeles
Lakers announced in 1991 that he was HIV positive, not only did the news shock the
world but it had a profound effect on the career path of Dr. Mysheika Roberts. Today,
Roberts, an alumna of the University of Michigan School of Public Health, is the Columbus
Public Health commissioner.
Sidonie Kilpatrick
Sidonie Kilpatrick, MPH ’20, did not follow a family member’s path into the healthcare profession. She did not receive inspiration from a popular television series that showed healthcare workers in heroic roles, nor did her high school classes in related subjects provide the illumination that would send her on to study and work on critical matters of public health. Instead, she lived it.
Phil Hartley
Phil Hartley, MS ’22, was diagnosed with an idiopathic disease at a young age, so the importance of quality health care has always been a big part of his life. His condition—an idiopathic disease is a disease of uncertain or unknown origin—and the challenges he anticipated facing motivated him from an early age to think deeply about how to live a full life and make a positive impact on others.
Richa Gupta
MHSA '02, Health Management and Policy; SVP of Clinical Operations and COO, Rush University
Medical Group
Michigan Public Health alumna Richa Gupta shares her path to a career in healthcare
management and how the next generation of healthcare administrators can build a network
of mentors.
Brandon Bond
First-generation college grad Brandon Bond leaves few opportunities on the table. He’s pursuing dual master’s degrees, his very first flight was to a foreign country, and he’s gearing up for doctoral studies. Bond’s adventurous spirit is helping him build bridges between communities and the policies that affect them.
