CaLAPH works with participants to plan, develop and/or implement systems change, and to develop partnerships and networks among participants, communities and stakeholders. Teams deepen their leadership practice as they work on an Applied Health Leadership Project to address social determinants of health and work toward Health in All Policies in their community.

NLAPH trains multi-sector teams from across the U.S. to develop the leadership capacity of participants working across sectors to improve population health.
