What We Do
Throughout its intervention research, education and service delivery activities, HHPC uses community-based participatory research (CBPR) principles aimed at reducing and eventually eliminating health disparities in diseases or condition of major concern to the Harlem community.
Dynamic community and academic collaborations allow HHPC to connect local resources with the broader public health community in order to promote health and strengthen partnerships within Harlem and with public health stakeholders throughout New York.
