Our approach to health is broader than you might expect

At Hue-Man, health includes not only physical and mental health but also trust, equity, and the social determinants of health that shape people’s lives. We ground our work in four interconnected priorities:

  • Medical Health

  • Mental Health

  • Community Outreach

  • Community-Driven Research

This work happens through deep, long-standing partnerships with major institutions and dozens of community groups, organizations, and individuals who make Hue-Man’s mission possible.
