In August 2025, Dr. Constance van Eeghen, DrPH, MHSA, MBA, a respected faculty member in Public Health, was appointed Associate Editor of Families, Systems, & Health, a leading peer-reviewed journal dedicated to integrated health care and family science.

The journal, which recently underwent a shift in editorial leadership, has renewed its mission to emphasize a systemic, evidence-based approach to primary health care. This includes a strong focus on integrating behavioral and physical health to support patient-centered care—an area where Dr. Van Eeghen has long been a thought leader.

Dr. Van Eeghen’s appointment reflects her deep expertise in integrated health systems and her commitment to advancing biopsychosocial models of care. Her recent scholarly work, which explores innovative strategies for implementing integrated care across diverse health settings, aligns closely with the journal’s evolving goals.

As Associate Editor, Dr. Van Eeghen will contribute to shaping the journal’s editorial direction, supporting rigorous scholarship, and fostering interdisciplinary dialogue that bridges clinical practice, public health, and family systems.

Her leadership marks an exciting chapter for Families, Systems, & Health as it continues to champion holistic, patient-centered approaches to health care.
