The principles that guide everything we do
Health Equity
We believe healthcare is a human right and work to eliminate the systemic barriers that prevent communities from achieving optimal health.
Community Centered
Communities know their own needs best. We amplify existing community wisdom and provide tools to turn grassroots insights into action.
Cultural Responsiveness
We honor and celebrate the diverse cultures, languages, and traditions that make NYC communities strong and resilient.

Health and communities are constantly evolving. We foster continuous learning and adaptation in ourselves and our students.
Empowerment
We don't just train individuals—we develop leaders who can create sustainable change in their communities and beyond.
Collaboration
Complex health challenges require partnerships. We work with healthcare systems, schools, and community organizations to multiply our impact.
