Established in 1990, MOPHLI is a collaborative program between the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (MDHSS) and the Heartland Centers. It provides an opportunity for participating scholars to enhance their leadership knowledge and skills to strengthen organizational effectiveness and positively impact the public health and senior service systems of Missouri. The mission of MOPHLI is to develop and to enhance the transformational leadership knowledge and skills of MDHSS managers and local public health agency administrators.

MOPHLI’s goals include:

  • Provide a sequential leadership development model that supports the application of new knowledge and skills to the practice setting
  • Strengthen linkages among health and senior service practitioners and develop collaborative networks with public health academicians
  • Create and refine a model for development of transformational leadership skills at state and local levels
  • Provide an academic program in which leaders have the opportunity to enhance and develop knowledge, skills and competencies that are vital to strengthening organizational and related systems in Missouri

 


Academic and practice partners in Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma, including the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, the Heartland Center for Public Health and Community Leadership at Saint Louis University School of Public Health, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, the University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita, the Oklahoma State Department of Health, and the Oklahoma University College of Public Health partnered to form the KMOLI Regional Leadership Institute. KMOLI provides public health leaders in Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma access to a comprehensive, competency-based leadership development experience to improve public health practice.

KMOLI’s goals include:

  • Provide an intensive and comprehensive program that utilizes the strengths and adaptations of three pre-existin leadership institutes (Kansas, Missouri, & Oklahoma).
  • Enhance leadership knowledge and competence of regional, tribal, state and local health officials and other professionals in the KMOLI region through implementation of residential and distance-based learning activities
  • Provide an annual alumni leadership development session to improve competence and enhance networking

 


EPHLI was developed based upon CDC priorities that identified a need for improving leadership capacity in environmental public health practice. The Institute is managed by the Heartland Center office for the National Public Health Leadership Development Network. Emphasis is placed on the core functions of public health as a foundation for achieving public health goals and the need for proactive environmental public health leaders to mobilize resources in response to the changing public health environment. The mission of EPHLI is to strengthen the country’s environmental public health system by enhancing the leadership capabilities of state and local environmental public health specialists from multiple agencies/organizations in diverse settings.

EPHLI’s goals include:

  • Increase leadership capacity and skills of environmental public health personnel working in diverse settings
  • Enhance the performance outcomes of public health core functions and essential services
  • Promote and improve the environmental public health of communities
