Our People

The essence of Prevention Partners is our people. We are dedicated, impassioned professionals, many of us with public health credentials and track records of leading innovation. Oh, and we love good food — don’t get us started.

Whitney also directs Prevention Partners’ Research Council, which leverages data from our unique database and partnerships to ask and answer the next generation of research questions in the fields of tobacco and obesity prevention.
