HDC MISSION AND GOALS
The mission of the Health Disparities Collaborative is to 1) generate and document improved health outcomes for underserved populations; 2) transfer knowledge about how to promote positive breakthrough changes; and 3) develop infrastructure, expertise, and leadership to support and drive improved health, access, and cost outcomes.
