Center for Health and Homeland Security
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Center for Health and Homeland Security (CHHS) is a research and training institution of the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB). The Center comprises over thirty full-time professionals who focus on disaster planning and consequence management for an array of federal, state, and local authorities.
Originally formed after the September 11, 2001 attacks, by (UMB) President David J. Ramsay, the center allows for a collaborative effort between UMB's six professional schools (medicine, law, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy, and social work), the graduate science program on the UMB campus, and the University's Health Sciences and Human Services Library. Michael Greenberger[1], a professor at the University of Maryland School of Law and a former high-ranking U.S. Department of Justice official with counterterrorism responsibilities, currently serves as the center's director.
In addition to its work with government agencies, CHHS sponsors a series of scholarly programs on important homeland security issues. The University also offers courses designed by CHHS that touch on all aspects of homeland security.
