Our Work

As Penn’s hub for multidisciplinary research and education on health, health care, and health policy, Penn LDI connects all twelve of Penn’s schools, the University of Pennsylvania Health System, and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. While our Fellows’ work spans all aspects of health care, it fits broadly under four priorities that highlight current challenges in improving our nation’s health system.
