The images we use shape how we tell public health stories. The Public Health Visual Commons is a free visual library helping public health organizations find and share images that better reflect the people, places, and work behind public health.

Explore the library and contribute your own photos to help grow the collection.

LPHI is proud to be part of this collaborative effort with HRiA and the National Network of Public Health Institutes.

Last week, we kicked off a two-part Regenerative Communications Workshop with Amplify Resonance through an impactful in-person session at the Tate Etienne and Provost Center, featuring a special appearance by Dr. Leona Tate.

Her reflections on desegregation, truth-telling, and collective memory brought a powerful perspective to the conversation and a reminder that the stories we tell about the past can shape the stories we tell about the future.

The conversation continues virtually this month with a session focused on ethical storytelling, narrative power-building, and proactive communications. Participants will move from reflection into practice through hands-on exercises and peer discussion, exploring how storytelling can help bring organizational vision to life and support change and health equity.

Join us virtually on Wednesday, October 14, from 12:00–2:00 PM CT. Register at lphi.org/events.

Geaux Far Week 2026 took us to Alexandria, Lake Charles, Shreveport, and Monroe.

At each stop, we connected with community members and partners around policies and priorities that shape opportunities for children and families, with a focus on early childhood and education. It was an opportunity to learn from communities, share resources, and connect the work happening across Louisiana.

Thank you to Geaux Far Louisiana for bringing people and partners together around the issues that matter to children and families across our state.

We joined Women's Foundation South womensfdnsouth for their 5th Anniversary Leadership Brunch, celebrating five years of work to expand opportunity for women and girls across the South.

The afternoon was a chance to connect with others doing this work, reflect on how far we’ve come, and talk about what’s ahead for women’s health and well-being. This is work we’re committed to as well, and we value opportunities to learn, share, and build alongside others working toward better health outcomes.

Dr. Veronica Gilliespie-Bell, a steering committee member of our Maternal and Infant Data Collaborative, gave the keynote and shared insights on women’s health trends across the past, present, and future.

We’re grateful to be part of these conversations and to continue building connections with others who are working to improve women’s health across the South.
