Public Policy Advocacy

With experience across a range of policy areas and issues, combined with our strong record working side-by-side with business, government, and community-based organizations, PHI and its programs are effective, influential advocates for public health in local, state, federal and global policy. With strategic policy platforms PHI addresses policy in areas such as nutrition, climate change and girls' and women's rights. We launch collaborative efforts that work directly with local community leaders and organizations globally to advance public health policy by engaging in grassroots and direct action with legislators and decision makers.
