Integrating Public Safety as a New Social Determinant of Health

The Institute for Successful Leadership recognizes initiating and sustaining wellness of populations requires in-depth examination of both individual risk behaviors as well as systems-based socio-environmental factors. In-depth examinations of scientific theory and analyses aligning health outcomes and policing behaviors in various communities has led ISL to include public safety into its examination and reframing of wellness particularly for communities consistently enduring chronic health disparities. Engage with ISL to determine innovative approaches for integrating public safety systems, law enforcement professionals, first responders, and intersections with public health systems in communities nationwide and abroad.
