Our Mission and Approach

Multi-cultural. It's not just an important concept. It is the very essence of who we are and what we do.

Our Mission

Since 1976, we have worked in partnership with individuals, groups and organizations in the community to promote health and well-being in diverse communities. Our mission is to promote the health and well-being of diverse communities--including individuals from communities of color, individuals with limited English proficiency, immigrants and refugees--through innovative health advocacy, health promotion, disease prevention, and immigrant and refugee service programs.

Our approach is firmly grounded in the principle that effective responses to health issues must be generated in partnership with the community and meet evolving community needs. Therefore, we hire staff who reflect and understand the communities with which they work and who work through and within community networks to ensure support for our programs and services.
