Charles-Edward Amory Winslow

In 1920, Winslow published a widely-cited definition of public health in Science, describing the field as "the science and the art of preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting physical health and efficiency through organized community efforts for the sanitation of the environment, the control of community infections, the education of the individual in principles of personal hygiene, the organization of medical and nursing service for the early diagnosis and preventive treatment of disease, and the development of the social machinery which will ensure to every individual in the community a standard of living adequate for the maintenance of health. [...] I look to see our health departments in the coming years organizing diverse forms of sanitary and medical and nursing and social service in such fashion as to enable every citizen to realize his birthright of health and longevity." ==CEA Winslow Award==

The C.-E.A. Winslow Award was created by Yale University and commemorates Winslow as a pioneer in public health and medicine, who is credited with founding the second oldest school of public health in the country at Yale. Among the most widely quoted health leaders during his lifetime, Dr. Winslow believed that equal in weight with scientific ideas about health and disease was a commitment to social justice - that social ills must be the first conquest in the "conquest of epidemic disease.” Previous winners include Peter Hotez (2024) and Kimberle Crenshaw (2023).
