The Center for Leadership in Public Health Practice was approved as a State University System Type 2 Center in the University of South Florida College of Public Health in 1999. It is placed in the Dean's Office to signify its college-wide significance.

The Center was established to give organizational structure to a growing number of activities within the College including to provide training for the Florida Department of Health workforce. The Center expanded its focus beyond the local community, seeking opportunities throughout the country in pursuit of the vision to strengthen the public health workforce. The Center strives to understand, expand, and facilitate the translation of knowledge and collaborate across disciplines within Florida and beyond.

The CLPHP's programs integrate regenerative leadership education with innovative collaboration tools to enhance skill development through experiential learning, introducing participants to a collaborative leadership approach that better helps address the complex issues of our times. The approach is a positive, strengths-based, adaptive, systems-thinking leadership approach termed "regenerative" leadership-individual and collaborative leadership that creates the conditions for positive change and restores balance in complex living systems.
