At Edison Global Solutions, we approach public health through a One Health perspective that recognizes the interconnected health of people, animals, and ecosystems. We believe that environmental stability, biodiversity, infrastructure design, governance, and technological systems collectively shape the conditions under which life can thrive.
Our work focuses on strengthening the structural foundations that support health across regions and generations. We examine how climate dynamics, resource systems, digital infrastructure, and policy environments intersect to influence risk and resilience. By translating environmental and population data into practical strategy, we support ethical innovation, equitable policy development, and accountable system design.
We aim to help institutions build the scaffolding necessary to protect life, reduce structural inequities, and anticipate emerging threats before disruption occurs.
Health and Community Focus
Institutional strategy is most effective when grounded in community reality. We engage public health professionals, emergency management leaders, and community members in structured dialogue that translates environmental and health data into practical action.
Our work ensures that preparedness systems, policy decisions, and emerging technologies reflect local conditions, lived experience, and equity considerations. Effective leadership begins with listening and succeeds through coordinated implementation.
Strategic Insight and Applied Research
We develop applied research and strategic analysis that connect environmental intelligence, public health data, and infrastructure planning. Our work supports institutions in evaluating complex risk environments and strengthening preparedness systems across sectors.
By integrating data from environmental monitoring, demographic trends, and technological infrastructure, we help leaders clarify emerging threats and identify practical, policy aligned solutions. Our approach advances responsible innovation while ensuring that equity, accountability, and long-term resilience remain central to decision making.
Collaborative Engagement and Knowledge Exchange
Effective public health strategy depends on collaboration across sectors and levels of implementation. We work alongside public health networks, emergency management partners, environmental leaders, and community organizations to ensure that research, policy dialogue, and emerging technologies remain accessible and actionable.
By contributing to professional associations and engaging directly with community stakeholders, we support shared learning, practical capacity building, and transparent communication. Our goal is to strengthen alignment between institutional strategy and community readiness, ensuring that innovation translates into measurable public health impact.
Core Team
Kathleen Edison MPH, DrPH (C)
Founder and President
Kathleen Edison is a public health strategist working at the intersection of environmental health, preparedness systems, and emerging technology. Grounded in epidemiology and population science and guided by a One Health framework, her work advances intelligence-informed approaches to climate-related risk, emergency management, and the responsible integration of artificial intelligence within public health infrastructure.
With experience spanning community engagement, policy dialogue, and systems-level leadership, Kathleen focuses on early risk recognition, cross-sector coordination, and equity-centered implementation. Her doctoral research focuses on developing scalable early warning frameworks that strengthen institutional readiness while remaining responsive to environmental and community context.
Jean Rinkowski, PT, DPT, MPH, CSCS
Environmental Health and Population Strategist
Dr. Jean Rinkowski is a public health professional with over 20 years of experience in healthcare, bringing expertise in epidemiology, environmental health, and health policy. Her work examines environmental and structural drivers of health inequities, translating complex data into evidence-based, community-informed strategies that strengthen preparedness and advance equitable policy development. She currently serves as Secretary and Membership Co-Chair for the Environment Section of the American Public Health Association. Dr. Rinkowski holds a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Toledo and a Master of Public Health in Population and Health Sciences from the University of Michigan.
Staff Software Architect
Senior Software Engineer and Staff Architect with more than 25 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, AI-enabled systems at the intersection of physical infrastructure and digital intelligence. He specializes in AI-centered architecture, event-driven design, and cloud automation to power predictive analytics, risk modeling, and advanced decision-support platforms.

Justin May - Staff Software Architect
Journey
Edison Global Solutions began with a simple recognition: the challenges shaping public health today are interconnected. Climate change, infrastructure systems, technological growth, and community vulnerability cannot be addressed in isolation.
Our journey has been shaped by field-based engagement, national public health collaboration, and a commitment to responsible innovation.
As our work continues to evolve, we remain focused on strengthening the systems that protect life, support equitable policy, and prepare institutions for emerging risk across communities and generations.
Partner With Us
We are committed to advancing thoughtful collaboration across public health, environmental leadership, emergency management, and emerging technology. Meaningful progress requires shared insight, responsible innovation, and coordinated action.
Whether you are a practitioner, policymaker, researcher, or institutional leader, we welcome opportunities to strengthen preparedness systems and build equitable frameworks that protect life and support resilient communities.
