About Institute for Public Strategies

About Us

IPS is a public health organization. We specialize in implementing upstream, population-level prevention programs that reduce health disparities and advance equity. We work alongside residents and other stakeholders to advocate for policy and system change to protect health and safety, prevent community trauma, and expand opportunities so that people can reach their full potential.

A shift toward equity.

In recent years, the role of equity in determining health outcomes has become widely understood, and the IPS approach has evolved. Advancing equity has become a fundamental feature of our work.
