"Where you're born shouldn't decide whether you get to live a healthy life."Who We Are
SHLI 20th Anniversary
Celebrating 20 years of the Satcher Health Leadership Institute
Founded in 2006 by Dr. David Satcher, the 16th U.S. Surgeon General, at Morehouse School of Medicine, SHLI has spent two decades developing health leaders, research, and policy work. Leaders Dr. Satcher mentored are sharing what his guidance has meant to them.
Our Founder
"Where you're born shouldn't decide whether you get to live a healthy life."
As the 16th Surgeon General and the first African American director of the CDC, Dr. Satcher spent a career confronting the country's health disparities head-on — and in 2006, as president of Morehouse School of Medicine, he founded the Satcher Health Leadership Institute to carry that work forward.
Twenty years later, that founding vision has grown into three centers, each advancing health equity on a different front. One legacy, carried forward.
