Goals

Our goals are to:

  • Promote community based, primary care-oriented education for a range of health professions students, from high school through graduate and professional school, to improve community health services provided to underserved populations.
  • Promote community-derived and -directed health services and clinical research, in partnerships with academic medical centers, government, and university researchers, that focuses on health problems that impact diverse urban populations.
  • Promote coordination of services and interagency collaboration among universities, health services providers, community-based organizations, and community residents to create healthier communities.
  • Promote public and marketplace policy and institutional change in health professions education, community health, and health care access to create an equitable health care system for diverse populations and communities.
