Our Story
PHI Center for Health Leadership & Impact (CHLI) began in 1991 in response to a need for public health leadership. The Center’s first program, the National Public Health Leadership Institute, trained senior leaders at the local, state, and national level on cutting-edge public health practices and leadership trends.
The Center has expanded its expertise and reach over three decades, evolving to address the complex, intersectional health challenges that require collaboration with diverse stakeholders. Our programs help teams and individuals build healthy, more equitable communities by developing multi-sector partnerships and leveraging local resources.
To date, the Center has worked with teams from 53 states and territories, supporting work on the most pressing health challenges of our time, including overdose prevention, affordable housing, HIV prevention, and violence prevention.
