Everyone deserves to be healthy. The Public Health Law Center collaborates with others to reduce and eliminate commercial tobacco, promote healthy food, support physical activity, pursue climate justice, and address other causes of chronic disease. Our belief in health and equity for all people is at the core of our work.

Our partnerships include Tribal health leaders, federal agencies, national health advocacy organizations, state and local governments, planners, researchers, attorneys, community coalitions, and individuals working on public health issues. Our deep knowledge, thoughtful legal and policy analysis, and individualized approach help these partners create healthier communities around the country.

Founded in 2000, the Center is located at Mitchell Hamline School of Law in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
