Our Mission

To eliminate health disparities by fostering partnerships among patients, providers, community members, educators, administrators, and researchers to achieve the following broad goals:

• Promote health and well-being among racial/ethnic minorities, the poor, and the underserved;

• Assure the delivery of patient-centered culturally sensitive health care to all patients;

• Recruit and retain racially/ethnically diverse faculty and students who are interested in medicine or other health professions;

• Increase community-based participatory health research in racial/ethnic minority communities;

• Develop, test, and institutionalize evidence-based interventions targeting obesity and other health problems that have a disproportionately negative impact on racial/ethnic minorities, the poor, and the underserved.
