Our vision is a country in which all people are valued and in which equal access to quality health care is available to everyone, thus enriching our collective well-being.

Philosophy

HOP believes that outreach fulfills a critical need to increase access to health and social services and decrease health disparities for low-income, vulnerable, and underserved populations.
