Mission

AMHPS’ mission is to engage the collective resources, scholarship and technology of our member institutions to facilitate and promote optimum health among poor and minority people. The three-approach includes:

• Improving the health status of African-Americans, under-represented minorities and the underserved.

• Growing the representation of well qualified African-American and under-represented minorities in the health professions.

• Strengthening our institutions and programs as well as other programs throughout the nation; this in turn will improve the role of minorities in the provision of health care.
