PROGRAM INTRODUCTION
The National Environmental Public Health Leadership Institute is coordinated
and developed by the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention and the National
Public Health Leadership Development Network. The
program was developed based upon CDC priorities that identified a need
for improving leadership capacity in environmental public health practice. Emphasis
is placed on the core functions of public health as a foundation for achieving
public health goals and the need for proactive environmental public health
leaders to mobilize resources in response to the changing public health
environment.
