CHC Mission Statement
The UCR School of Medicine’s Center for Healthy
Communities will lead and facilitate innovative
research to improve the health of the culturally,
linguistically and economically diverse communities in
the region, especially those that are medically under-

researchers and communities through education and
research that addresses our communities’ needs and
promotes health equity.
