The Center for Health Equity Research (CHER) is committed to finding solutions to end health disparities regionally, nationally, and globally by engaging researchers, healthcare providers, and communities in new ways that are culturally relevant and respectful. Our collaborative work provides solid information that our partners can use for their work to improve health and well-being for all.

  • Be a trusted partner and leader in research and action to attain the highest level of health for all people.
