The Louisiana Public Health Institute (LPHI) is a new governance structure that embodies cross-sector approaches to improving the public's health. Formed in 1996, LPHI's first grant was from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation for the Turning Point initiative. The lessons learned from Turning Point have been instrumental in developing the strategic direction of LPHI and Turning Point will be sustained through ongoing projects at LPHI. LPHI is part of a growing trend in America, and a new national network has been created to support the development of public health institutes in many states.
路易斯安那公共卫生研究所(LPHI)是一种新的治理结构,体现了改善公众健康的跨部门方法。LPHI成立于1996年,其第一笔赠款来自罗伯特·伍德·约翰逊基金会的转折点倡议。从转折点汲取的经验教训对LPHI战略方向的制定起到了重要作用,转折点将通过LPHI正在进行的项目得以延续。LPHI是美国日益增长的趋势的一部分,并且已经创建了一个新的全国性网络来支持许多州公共卫生研究所的发展。
