Addressing the need for leadership development to improve the health of communities is the focus of Mid-Atlantic Health Leadership Institute (MHLI). Through the development of leadership skills and shared vision, the Institute will facilitate creative, collaborative, integrated, and effective approaches to achieving community health goals.

The Mid-Atlantic Health Leadership Institute (MHLI) maintains that traditional public health and health care measures such as childhood immunizations and access to medical care are? critical to disease prevention and treatment. However, the health of communities depends on an array of other factors. These factors include, but are not limited to meaningful work, decent housing, clean water, safe food, adequate schools, just laws, and wise policy. Our leadership institute contributes to the improvement of health in communitie by considering the multidimensional issues affecting communities and seeks to enroll a broad audience of professionals integral to the development of healthy communities. This activity has been accredited to offer continuing education credits. Each retreat is accredited for up to 18 hours of credit.
