Description

Prevention Institute was founded in 1997 to serve as a focal point for primary prevention practice—promoting policies, organizational practices, and collaborative efforts that improve health and quality of life. As a national non-profit organization, the Institute is committed to preventing illness and injury, to fostering health and social equity, and to building momentum for community prevention as an integral component of a quality health system.

Prevention Institute provides services to support prevention initiatives throughout the country. Working with states and localities, community coalitions, and foundations, we build the capacity of organizations and individuals to plan and implement strong, effective collaborative efforts focused on policy and environmental change. Our approach has evolved through an integration of research and practice. We design prevention initiatives to promote health equity and improve health outcomes in communities of color and low-income communities.

"In 2005 the NALEO Educational Fund set out to develop a dynamic health leadership program for Latino elected officials in California. As consultants and program partners, Prevention Institute staff worked with us to tailor their Prevention Institute tools and presentations for an audience of elected officials.
