Chris L. Day, MPH, Public Health Foundation, 1300 L. Street, N.W. Suite 8--, Washington, DC 20005, 202-218-4425, cday@phf.org

Purpose: To report on the progress and next steps in renewing and developing the Medicine and Public Health Initiative and allied Institute (MPHI) network of health professionals, researchers, and educators within states, nationally and internationally. We invite all interested parties to attend and participate. See www.mphi.net. MPHI's major goal is bridging the gaps between clinical, community, and public health approaches through cooperative programs. There is a joint emphasis on the three themes of education, applied research and community based practice both domestically and internationally. We are extending the collaborative network to states and local chapters as critical to influencing and facilitating improving community health levels.
