Building Georgia’s Culture of Health

Fanning Institute for Leadership Development with support from Georgia Power, are offering the Public Health Leadership Academy (PHLA) at UGA.  Launched in March 2015, the PHLA’s mission is to increase the capacity of leaders to transcend boundaries, work collaboratively, and transform their communities in order to improve the health of Georgians.

Through five two-day sessions, discussions, support, and peer networking, leaders will increase their capacity to transcend boundaries and work collaboratively to transform the health of their communities.
