The mission of the IPPH is to improve health, reduce health disparities, and prevent injury and illness in Georgia through research, service, leadership, and training. These will include the areas of health management and administration, epidemiology, behavioral health and health education, environmental and occupational health and biostatistics.

Furthermore, the institute will enhance the educational experience of GRU students by imbedding public and preventive health concepts in their curricula and providing the opportunity of acquiring dual degrees (e.g. MD/MPH & DMD/MPH).
