Health Initiative of the Americas

The Health Initiative of the Americas (HIA) at the University of California Berkeley School of Public Health is a leading program focused on the intersection of health and migration. Established in 2001, HIA collaborates with Latin American governments, public and private institutions, and grassroots organizations in the U.S. to improve health outcomes and address health inequities among migrant populations.

With a mission to coordinate resources and reduce health disparities among the Latino-origin population in the United States, HIA employs action-oriented research and policy analyses. The initiative is guided by an External Advisory Board comprising distinguished leaders in government, research, and community advocacy, reflecting its commitment to enhancing the cultural competency of healthcare personnel and addressing the unmet health needs of immigrants.
