  • Annika Frahsa Becomes Lindenhof Endowed Professor of Community Health
    Media Relations Media Release, May 7th, 2021 Annika Frahsa becomes Lindenhof Endowed Professor of Community Health Annika Frahsa has been chosen Lindenhof Foundation Professor of Community Health by the University Executive Board. The assistant professorship has been made possible thanks to support from the Lindenhof Foundation Bern. It focuses on participatory health promotion involving communities and is one of a kind in Switzerland. The public health sector and modern healthcare systems are facing growing challenges. These include ongoing demographic shifts such as changes in age structure, urbanization and migration, as well as changing expectations of societal institutions, and the ways health promotion, disease prevention and care are organized. With the help of the Lindenhof Foundation Bern, an endowed professorship was established in 2018 at the Institute of Social and Preventive Medicine (ISPM), which will primarily use social science theories and methods to research the social processes surrounding healthcare systems and represent them in teaching. "Against the backdrop of increasingly complex challenges, there is a need for new approaches in research and teaching in the field of public health. The Lindenhof Endowed Professorship in Community Health is a decisive step in this direction," says Prof. Thomas Abel of ISPM, who was instrumental in establishing it. The endowed professorship is set to run for 10 years and is funded by the Lindenhof Foundation Bern with a sum of five million Swiss francs. Now that the professorship has been filled, the University Executive Board has appointed Annika Frahsa for an initial term of four years as Assistant Professor of Community Health, as of May 1, 2021.
