ith more than four decades of leadership in public health teaching, research and policy work, Franklyn Judson, MD, is deeply committed to advancing the field. After joining the University of Colorado in 1974, Judson served on the CU School of Medicine faculty for more than 30 years in the Division of Infectious Diseases in the Department of Medicine, as well as in the Department of Preventive Medicine and Biometrics (the predecessor program to the Colorado School of Public Health). He has been a professor at ColoradoSPH since its establishment a decade ago, and served as director of Denver Public Health for nearly 20 years. Throughout his career, Judson has demonstrated a passion for ensuring that bold ideas developed in academic and research environments are translated into public health practice, advancing the field and informing policy that impacts lives. In addition to investing his expertise and passion in ColoradoSPH, Dr. Judson has made philanthropic gifts to further accelerate progress. In 2017, he established the Franklyn N. Judson, MD, Endowed Fund for Impact on Public Health Policy. This fund provides flexible support to enhance strategic initiatives, address public health policy, and translate public health evidence into practice. “It is an honor to invest in the future successes of faculty and students at the Colorado School of Public Health,” said Judson. “These public health leaders are working to transform the health of communities across Colorado and beyond, and it is my hope that my contributions continue to move the field forward.”
