Our History
The Hmong Health Care Professionals Coalition (HHCPC) was founded in 1995 by Mao Heu-Thao during the early years of Hmong resettlement in Minnesota. This period was characterized by significant health challenges and a lack of trust between the Hmong community and the healthcare system. In response, HHCPC emerged as a vital bridge to provide culturally informed care, educate the community, and foster understanding, all aimed at improving Hmong health equity and advancing health research to enhance Hmong public health.

Our Partners
We are deeply grateful to our healthcare partners who, over the years, have collaborated with the Hmong Health Care Professionals Coalition to provide vaccines, health screenings, and education to the Hmong community. Together, we also engage in Hmong health research and share insights that promote culturally informed care, improve health outcomes, and address the unique healthcare challenges faced by our community in the pursuit of Hmong health equity.
(Note: We partner with many healthcare and non-healthcare organizations to further our mission. Their logos may not be represented on this page but we value their partnerships equally.)
