Company Information
JSI
We are more than 3,500 public health care and health systems professionals driven by a passion to improve health services and outcomes for all. Our goal is to ensure all individuals can live their best and healthiest life, regardless of age or circumstances.
For 45 years, JSI has been at the forefront of global public health. We collaborate with government agencies, the private sector, and local nonprofit and civil society organizations to identify and implement solutions to public health and health care challenges. These partnerships improve the quality, accessibility, and equity of health systems and lead to better health outcomes.
We work within communities to ground our approach in a deep understanding of those who will benefit. While we promote using best practices and sharing solutions, we tailor strategies to each situation and seek creative options to meet clients’ needs.
World Education
We are education development experts who believe that everyone has the right to a high-quality education. Our work is driven by the belief that education is a powerful tool to improve the quality of life and increase economic opportunities for people worldwide.
Our programs create and strengthen equitable access to services that support people’s individual and collective needs—whether that’s people with disabilities, those in rural communities, women, immigrants and refugees, or adults who need foundational skills. Our programs improve adult education, build early-grade literacy, help displaced people, mitigate the effects of HIV, and reduce gender-based violence. Equity and inclusion drive our work.
Company History
Our namesake, John Snow, was the famed British physician, often hailed as a founder of modern epidemiology for his groundbreaking statistical mapping of the cholera outbreak in nineteenth-century London. By meticulously tracing infections and intensely engaging with communities, Dr. Snow pinpointed a contaminated water pump on Broad Street as a primary source of the outbreak—long before the widespread acceptance of germ theory. At JSI, we continue to embody Dr. Snow’s spirit of inquiry through our commitment to community insights, reliance on data-driven strategies, and enthusiasm for innovative tools and ideas.
Joel Lamstein was president and CEO of JSI and JSI Research & Training from inception and became president of World Education in 1982. He remained in these positions until 2022. Under Mr. Lamstein’s leadership, the family of JSI organizations established its pre-eminent position in global public health as a trusted and effective partner to community-based organizations, the private sector, and government agencies.
Today, JSI stands as the merger of four organizations, each with a storied legacy and strong connection to one another: John Snow, Inc., founded by Mr. Lamstein and Norbert Hirschhorn in 1978; JSI Research & Training Institute, Inc. founded in 1980; World Education, Inc., founded in 1951 by Welthy Fisher; and The Manoff Group, founded in 1967 by Richard Manoff and led by Marcia Griffiths for decades. Additionally, JSI was the sole member of the Partnership for Supply Chain Management, a collaborative initiative established in 2005 to manage secure and sustainable global supply chains for high-quality and affordable health products.
Fortified with a strategic vision honed over 45 years and an unwavering commitment to collaboration with local partners, we navigate complex systems to deliver transformative outcomes. By leveraging data and digital tools to track and anticipate evolving health behaviors and needs, JSI fosters sustainable change on a global scale.
