About us
LPHI is a statewide 501(c)(3) nonprofit public health institute that has proudly served the residents of Louisiana since 1997. As the public health landscape shifts and changes at an ever-quickening pace, LPHI’s role is to be both responsive to the immediate public health needs of Louisiana residents and to create an environment for long-term public health improvements. LPHI’s mission is to ensure that everyone has fair and just opportunities to be healthy and well, which it strives to achieve through its four strategic plan priority areas: Racial Justice and Health Equity, Partnerships and Collaboration, A Healthier Louisiana, and A Thriving Organization.
