Who We Are

The Center for HOPES was established in 1994 to respond to the needs of health care policy decision-makers at local, state, and national levels. Our staff includes Director Allard Dembe, ScD, five research specialists and a program manager. We specialize in health care policy and management, health services research, outcomes evaluation, occupational health, and social aspects of health.

What We Do

The Center for HOPES, located at The Ohio State University's College of Public Health, conducts applied health services research studies to help public and private organizations evaluate clinical effectiveness, quality of care, costs of medical services, processes of care, and other investigations in the areas of health outcomes, policy, and evaluation. Our programs have a direct and strong impact on health care in both the private and public sectors.
