Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics (LDI) is the center of the University
of Pennsylvania's activities and programs in health services research, health
policy, and health care management executive education. A formal cooperative
venture among Penn's schools of medicine, business, nursing, and dental
medicine, LDI works to improve the health of the public through multidisciplinary
studies on the medical, economic, social, and ethical issues that influence
how health care is organized, financed, managed, and delivered. LDI represents
one of the earliest efforts to promote collaborative scholarship in health
care through formal partnerships within the same university among the clinical,
management, and social sciences.
The Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics (LDI) was established
in 1967 in response to growing national need for high quality research
and education to inform policies critical to the financing and management
of the nation’s health care system. The Institute bears the name of Leonard
Davis, one of the foremost innovators in private health insurance.
He was the founder of Colonial Penn Group, Inc., a company that pioneered
in insurance for older Americans. Both Mr. Leonard Davis and Mrs.
Sophie Davis were generous benefactors of the University of Pennsylvania
contributing basic support for LDI activities.
