LPHI works to advance health policy through creating and supporting equitable, evidence-based solutions, strengthening community voices, and ensuring every person has just opportunities to be healthy and well.

We work alongside local, state, and national public health and community partners to:  

• Build collective power around shared policy agendas that amplify community voices to influence sustainable statewide health change, and amplify the voice of public health institutes (PHIs) to influence national change.  

• Transforming Governmental Public Health by strengthening its capacity, accountability, and health equity commitments to communities through policy development, analysis, and implementation.  

• Strengthen Local and State Advocacy by partnering with, and equipping community partners and coalitions with the knowledge, resources, and networks needed to advance strong local and state health advocacy. 

• Build Data Power by leveraging our data assets to translate complex public health data into actionable insights that drive policy change, and equipping partners, advocates, and decision-makers with actionable and trusted data to advance equitable health policies.
