Harlem Health Promotion Center

www.mailman.columbia.edu/research/harlem-health-promotion-center

Since 1990, Harlem Health Promotion Center (HHPC) has been working with community members through research, education, advocacy, and service delivery. As part of Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, the HHPC’s mission is to use community partnerships, health training, program evaluation, information technology, and infrastructure to improve the health and well-being of the Harlem community, and effectively communicate and disseminate public health practices to Harlem’s residents.

Deerfield has supported the HHPC since 2014 by funding a part-time health educator for the HHPC’s Youth Access Program (YAP) which provides sexual and reproductive health education and screening services to African-American and Hispanic youth between the ages of 13 and 24. Over the past three years, the YAP program has worked directly with 18 high schools and 13 community based organizations.
