Our Mission: To build prevention and health equity into key federal, state, local, and organizational policies and actions to ensure that the places where all people live, work, play and learn foster health, safety and wellbeing. Prevention Institute brings cutting-edge research, practice, and analysis to today's pressing health and safety concerns. Determined to achieve equity, health, and safety for all, to improve community environments equitably, and to serve as a focal point for primary prevention practice, Prevention Institute asks what can be done in the first place, before people get sick or injured.
