Center for Community Health and Health Equity

The Center for Community Health and Health Equity (CCHHE) is an important expression of Brigham and Women's Hospital's commitment to community service. Established in 1991 in response to poor birth outcomes in underserved sections of Boston, the CCHHE identifies approaches to health care for low income and other underserved women and their families.

The CCHHE develops, implements, manages, and evaluates initiatives, which address and minimize disparities in health status. The center works in partnership with other hospital departments and with community health centers, schools, and other community based organizations to identify barriers to health care and related services and to address the social factors contributing to health and well being.
