  • About Us

    Hawai‘i Public Health Institute (HIPHI) is a nonprofit organization established in 1996 as the Coalition for a Tobacco-Free Hawai‘i to address the high rates of tobacco use in Hawai‘i. In 2012, the organization moved from a singular focus on tobacco issues to a broad public health mission.

    Today, HIPHI’s mission is to advance the health and wellness of the people and islands of Hawai‘i by:

    • Expanding understanding of what creates health of people and place, embracing upstream social, cultural, and environmental factors;
    • Fostering partnerships among public health, health care, and other diverse sectors to improve health and wellness; and
    • Cultivating programs including education, advocacy, research, capacity building and training—to improve policies, systems, and the environments where people live, learn, work, age, and play.

    HIPHI’s advocacy and programmatic work spans multiple issue areas, including oral health, food

    and agriculture, nutrition and physical activity, tobacco control and prevention, transportation and

    public safety, and environmental health. HIPHI has become a go-to organization for public health

    advocacy, education, organizing, capacity building, and technical assistance.
