Public Health Institute

The Public Health Institute (PHI) is a national independent non-profit that advances the health and wellbeing of all people and communities, particularly those facing the greatest barriers. Rooted in 60 years of public health experience, PHI works with public, private, non-profit and philanthropic organizations to strengthen the public health ecosystem. Our partners choose PHI for our deep experience in practice, policy, research, community engagement and our proven ability to turn ideas into actions that improve conditions for communities to be healthy and thrive.

PHI is home to more than 40 public health programs, providing comprehensive operational infrastructure that enables them to launch, scale and achieve impact more effectively than they can alone. Together, we are addressing some of the most pressing challenges in health with solutions that are grounded in science and co-created with communities.

PHI supports the full continuum of public health—from evidence to impact. We generate and apply rigorous data and evidence to shape prevention strategies, run programs in real-world settings, forge partnerships to scale what works and build lasting capacity by equipping the workforce with the tools and training to sustain health improvements.
