What is LHAL? What is I-LEAD?
LHAL is the "Latino Health Advocacy and Leadership" Program for Pittsburgh.
A new health advocacy program has come to the Pittsburgh Area Latino Community! With the guidance of the I-Lead organization and the commitment of the community, we have a Latino Health Advocacy and Leadership Program.
The LHAL Program is I-LEAD's community-health specific version of its tested and proven community leadership curriculum. The key activity for the end of the first half of the curriculum will be a family-oriented culturally appropriate day of health education and screenings. The class will jointly analyze findings with relevant health partners and make recommendations for and pursue appropriate action with all partners. In other words, this is a long-term effort for health advocacy that comes from within the community and its leaders.

The Pittsburgh Latino Health Advocacy and Leadership Program (LHALP) was created by and is operated by I-LEAD, Inc. and funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Health. I-LEAD’s Vice President of Community Health, Susan M. Myers, MA, MPH, leads this program.
LHALP is modeled after the WK Kellogg Fellows program, the Centers for Disease Control’s National Public Health Leadership Institute and includes public health fundamentals. The LHALP includes individual skill-building and content in a learning community setting. Classes are held one Saturday a month from 9:30 am – 3:30 pm. LHALP has been conducted in Philadelphia and now, in Pittsburgh. About twelve students participate on a regular basis. They come from many countries of origin and have many different professional disciplines. LHALP is endorsed by Pennsylvania’s Governor’s Advisory Commission on Latino Affairs.
