Feb. 2021 - Apr. 2021Atlanta, Georgia, United StatesThe Community Health Leadership Program (CHLP) emphasizes Community Advocacy and Leadership Development. This program is designed to close the gap between academic medicine or academic health centers and the communities of greatest need by connecting people who are most affected by disparities. The goal is to develop and/or enhance community health leaders who are educated, motivated, and mobilized to lead community groups in changing health behavior, improving environmental health, and influencing policies to support community health. A key component of CHLP is to bring together people from diverse backgrounds and communities to work together to reduce and ultimately eliminate disparities in health among different racial, ethnic, generational, and social economic groups.
