The Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute’s Department of Population Medicine is a research and teaching collaboration between Harvard Pilgrim Health Care and Harvard Medical School. Established in 1992, it focuses on studying and educating about care for large, defined populations, including individuals who may not actively seek care, with the aim of improving population health and health care delivery locally, nationally, and internationally. The department emphasizes integrating evidence into routine care and generating new knowledge through ongoing delivery, aligning with the broader concept of a national Learning Health System.

Based in Boston, Massachusetts, the Institute operates as part of Point32Health, following the 2021 merger of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care with Tufts Health Plan. It counts among its affiliations multiple Harvard Medical School partners and functions within a health-care system context that spans research, education, and collaboration aimed at enhancing health outcomes across diverse populations. Emily Oken serves as both Department Chair and President of the Institute. The organization is positioned within the public health space and leverages its unique health-plan-based appointment to advance population health research and training.
