About us
The Satcher Health Leadership Institute (SHLI) aims to be the leading transformational force for health equity in policy, leadership development, and research. Rooted in the legacy of our founder, the 16th U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. David Satcher, SHLI’s mission is to create systemic change at the intersection of policy and equity by focusing on three priority areas: the political determinants of health, health system transformation, and mental and behavioral health. In conjunction with key strategic partners, SHLI enhances leadership among diverse learners, conducts forward-thinking research on the drivers of health inequities, and advances evidence-based policies; all in an effort to contribute to the achievement of health equity for all population groups.

Today, on Southern HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, we're called to action. 📢 With the South bearing the greatest burden of HIV—accounting for over half of the U.S.’s new infections—it's crucial we address the underlying issues from stigma to healthcare accessibility. #HIVAIDS #SHLI #MorehouseSchoolofMedicine #HIVAIDSAwareness

🧠 Impact of Stigma on Mental Health 🧠 A study in the 'Journal of Behavioral Medicine' reveals that individuals with HIV facing high levels of stigma are three times more likely to suffer from depression. Stigma doesn't just hurt; it harms. As we close out Minority Mental Health Month, we want to remind you ... It’s up to us to challenge the misconceptions and support mental health. Together, we can make a change! #BreakTheStigma #HIVandMentalHealth #GeorgiaThrives #GAThrives #SatcherHealth #SHLI #HIV #HIVAIDS

Let's Talk About Stigma: Nearly half of all people living with HIV report facing some form of discrimination, including verbal and physical assaults. This is unacceptable. It's time to challenge the stigma and change the narrative. Speak out, stand up, and help us transform these statistics into stories of support and survival. #ChangeTheStats #FightHIVStigma

DID YOU KNOW? Nearly 20% of people living with HIV avoid seeking medical care due to fear of stigma, which can lead to a worsening of health conditions and increase the risk of HIV transmission. We can turn the stats around! We thrive when we TALK about HIV! #GeorgiaThrives #HIV #HIVAIDS #StoptheStigma
