Our Mission. Our community.

Our mission is to promote fairness in healthcare access, support, and information to meet our community’s cultural, linguistic, and economic needs.

In 1997, we committed to removing the obstacles—like lack of insurance, transportation, and misinformation —that prevent families from getting the quality care they deserve while educating individuals to make informed health decisions and achieve optimal health outcomes, no matter their background or circumstances.

We listen to the community and respond with respect and care.

Our goal is to ensure that everyone can pursue a healthy lifestyle with education and navigation from our Promotores and Community Health Workers.
