Testimonials

Taylor Moss

Taylor Moss, MPH

“Touro's MPH program deepened my belief that caring for people means looking beyond the clinic. Through my work at Touro in health care policy and community research, I’ve seen how access, equity, and compassion shape health outcomes just as much as any treatment plan. My MPH degree taught me that real healing happens when we care for the whole person and the systems they live within.”
