Mission
The mission of the Diversity Healthcare Program is to diversify healthcare professions by partnering with minority and underrepresented high school students. We strive to empower these students to attain their goal of entering healthcare fields by providing support and mentorship through college and career enrichment initiatives. We aim to aid in their transition from high school, to college, and ultimately into healthcare professions.
