Welcome David Frazer as New Center Director
The Center for Urban Population Health (CUPH) is pleased to announce the appointment of David Frazer, MPH as its next director as of September 6, 2022.
A fifteen-year Center staff member, Mr. Frazer was initially hired to manage community-academic partnerships during its early growth years. His leadership evolved from manager to associate director and has partnered with the Institutional Leadership Committee in each leadership transition. In his current role as the operations director, Mr. Frazer supported Center faculty, scientists, and staff in consistent growth in extramural funding over the past five years.
In addition to his leadership at the Center, he is also active in several community academic partnerships working to improve the health of urban community’s including collaborative community health needs assessments, community driven wellness interventions, substance prevention and treatment, men’s health and social connection, cancer screening, chronic disease prevention and health literacy, and environmental health.
Beyond his Center role, David serves his community. He is currently a member of the City of Milwaukee’s Fund My Future, Milwaukee Estuary Area of Concern’s Community Advisory Committee, Council of Advocates – Wisconsin Bike Federation, and the City of Wauwatosa Community Development Block Grant Committee for the City of Wauwatosa. He has served as a grant reviewer for the Centers for Disease Control, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, UW-Madison’s Wisconsin Partnership Program, the Medical College of Wisconsin’s Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin, and the United Way of Greater Milwaukee’s Teenage Prevention Program.
David is succeeding Dr. Kristen Malecki. Dr Malecki will be the new director of the University of Illinois Chicago School of Public Health’s Division of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences. We are grateful for her dedication and leadership of CUPH.
