OUR MISSION & VISION
Mission: HIP creates opportunities for local healthcare leaders to strengthen the safety net and improve our community’s health.
Vision: We envision HIP as a catalyst for collective action to achieve an antiracist healthcare system that ensures health equity.
HOW WE SUCCEED
-
We provide a neutral table or platform--a nexus--where leaders can and do convene.
-
We help leaders tee up, focus on, and constructively address issues that are beyond any one organization's capacity or domain, yet affect all of us.
-
We build trust and transparency to make these conversations possible and productive.
-
We seek out and bring transformative ideas and relevant, cutting-edge training to make our community and its residents as healthy as possible.
