About

Rooted in a vision of empowering the next generation, the High School Health Research Forum cultivates a space for students themselves to explore vital health topics. Members engage in rigorous inquiry, share their work verbally, and author original research that highlights the passion of every contributor. Alongside fostering academic excellence, the Forum works to encourage young minds to connect global trends in healthcare with the issues closet to their hearts, or issues that exist in local realities.
