2012 SNAPSHOT

the Public Health Institute

Financially Strong PHI closed 2012 stronger than ever, with $103.8 million in revenue — the highest in its history and ten times what it was twenty

years ago.

Investing in People and Infrastructure PHI significantly fortified its infrastructure in 2012, vigorously pursuing new public health programming opportunities and deepening its engagement with state and local health departments. Key management appointments bolstered finance, communications and operations. The launch of a new PHI website and use of Dialogue4Health web forums expanded opportunities for collaboration with public health, health care and local communities.

A Leading Voice for Public Health PHI expanded its policy and advocacy voice in Washington, D.C., and its media presence, to support PHI programs, research and organizational goals. In 2012, PHI was an influential leader in public health, advocating to protect funding for prevention and nutrition programs and to support global public health investments.

2012: FOCUSED EFFORTS, BROAD IMPACTS

Building healthy communitiesInterventions and education from Network for a Healthy California resulted in a 47.6 percent increase in fruit and vegetable consumption among adults, with the greatest gains among the poorest Californians. Through the federal Prevention Fund’s $6 million Community Transformation Grant award to PHI, CA4Health is supporting rural California counties as they take action to provide healthier beverage choices, make their communities more walkable, provide smoke-free multi-unit housing, and strengthen clinical-community linkages.

Fostering domestic and global leadership Fellows from PHI’s Adolescent Girls’ Advocacy and Leadership Initiative (AGALI) ensured the proper implementation of the new Children’s Law in Liberia. AGALI spearheaded the national advocacy campaign to pass the model law, which protects girls from early marriage and guarantees them the right to attend school. Individual Fellows with the Global Health Fellows Program II led expansion of TB programming in USAID’s Latin America and

the Caribbean Bureau; provided technical expertise to the Ugandan government and USAID partners to improve control and containment of infectious diseases; and coordinated development of the U.S. Action Plan on Children in Adversity. The California Leadership Academy for the Public’s Health (CaLAPH) graduated its first class of health leaders working to address social determinants of health and implement Health in All Policies.

Harnessing technology to improve health Through “micro-mapping” technology, the Breast Cancer Mapping Project revealed four previously unidentified “areas of concern” in California where invasive breast cancer rates are 10 to 20 percent higher than the state average. PHI’s Center for Connected Health Policy was designated the federal Telehealth Policy Resource Center, providing technical assistance to 12 Regional Telehealth Centers across the nation. The Center for Technology and Aging strengthened the case for the broad use of telehealth devices, finding an up to 6:1 return on investment through the use of videoconferencing with older adults.

Connecting public health and health careWorking with the Health Systems Learning Group, PHI provided support to 40 health systems, representing more than 400 U.S. hospitals, that committed to reducing preventable emergency room use and hospital admissions by reallocating charity care resources to shift investments to prevention. PHI also helped develop tools to strengthen practices and oversight of tax-exempt hospitals to ensure optimal fulfillment of new reporting requirements under the Affordable Care Act.
