Health through the power of law and policy
关于我们
Everyone deserves to be healthy. The Public Health Law Center collaborates with others to reduce and eliminate commercial tobacco, promote healthy food, support physical activity, pursue climate justice, and address other causes of chronic disease. Our belief in health and equity for all people is at the core of our work. Because we provide legal and strategic support to so many local and state health departments, health advocacy organizations, attorneys working on public health issues, and community coalitions across the country, we are helping drive many of the nation’s cutting-edge public health initiatives. We believe that our legal knowledge can help bring justice to public health as we support our partners in reducing health disparities. When all people are healthier, the communities they live in are happier, safer, more vibrant places. Founded in 2000, the Center is located at Mitchell Hamline School of Law in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
