This national honor recognizes Lisa’s unwavering commitment to placing people at the center of care and advancing health equity across communities.
The NNPHI Lifetime Achievement Award celebrates outstanding individuals and organizations that have made significant, lasting contributions to improving public health, both locally and nationally. With a career spanning more than three decades, Lisa David embodies the very spirit of this recognition.
“I was deeply touched to receive this recognition from my peer organizations, the Public Health Institutes around the country,” said Lisa David. “Your peers know best what kind of work is required to have an impact, so this award means so much to me. It is a thrill!”
Lisa’s vision for public health is rooted in the belief that systems must be designed around the people they serve.
