The mission of HSHPS is to improve the health of Hispanics through academic development, research initiatives, and training. Through strong partnerships with member institutions, federal agencies, foundations, corporations and other non-profit organizations, HSHPS works diligently to accomplish its mission by:

• Helping Medical and Public Health schools recruit, promote and retain Hispanic faculty, researchers and key administrators.

• Developing educational opportunities in Health Profession Schools’ curriculum, research, and clinical experience that will help Hispanic and non-Hispanic students provide excellent health care to Hispanic populations.

• Promoting collaboration at the regional, national, and international levels between educational institutions and other groups with an interest in, or impact on, Hispanic health.

• Using our research strength and our representation of academic institutions to have a significant voice at the table in setting policy on issues of Hispanic health.
