Overview

Mission
The National Council of La Raza’s Institute for Hispanic Health is dedicated to reducing the incidence, burden, and impact of health problems in Hispanic Americans. The Institute works in close partnership with NCLR affiliates, government partners, private funders, and other Hispanic-serving organizations to deliver quality health interventions. These interventions focus on the improvement of access to and utilization of health promotion and disease prevention programs. We are committed to providing technical assistance and science-based approaches that are culturally competent and linguistically appropriate.
