We help families eat healthier, stay active, and live healthier lives with fun, practical programs for all ages.

Compassion Center 🤝🏽

We offer caring mental health support that respects your culture and your story.

Family Wellness Center 🏡

The Family Wellness Center is a welcoming place where local families can find connection and support. We explore eight key parts of a healthy life—body, mind, work, spirit, relationships, emotions, finances, and the environment.

Health Protection & Education Center 🛡️

We help keep our community safe and healthy by preventing illness, managing chronic conditions, reducing violence, while also supporting people facing addiction or mental health challenges. We also offer job support and case management to help people get back on their feet.

Maternal and Child Health Center 🤰🏽

We’re here for women before, during, and after pregnancy—with care at home, in clinics, or wherever you feel comfortable.

Migrant Health Clinic and Welcome Center 🩺🌍

We bring health care to local farms, job sites, and our clinic, in partnership with UConn.

The Welcome Center offers a caring first stop for immigrants, refugees, and new arrivals from Puerto Rico. In partnership with local agencies, we provide English classes, legal help, peer connection, and local resources.

Youth Services



We offer services that support families and guide youth from childhood through adolescence, including academic support, cultural activities, youth leadership, and parenting resources. Programs include the Family Resource Center at Maria Sanchez School, Hispanic Health Council Extended Learning Program at Maria Sanchez School, and Bridge to Success.

The National Hispanic Health Research Institute

The National Hispanic Health Research Institute (NHHRI) is the dedicated research arm of the Hispanic Health Council. Established to generate high-quality, community-informed studies, NHHRI advances health equity for Latino populations by serving as a hub for rigorous public health research, data infrastructure, and cross-sector collaboration. Through the NHHRI, HHC helps close health disparities and shape effective healthcare policy.

HHC continues to conduct research and evaluation projects to improve systems, policies, and large-scale programs through an equity lens. The goal is to identify health-related needs and design programmatic and policy/system changes to address them. The work is shared under the NHHRI. Learn more at NHHRI.org.
