Health and Human Development Programs (HHD)

EDC’s Health and Human Development Programs, comprising six EDC centers, promotes health and justice across the life cycle and in a variety of settings. HHD embraces a broad view of health as physical, mental, and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease. Guided by the belief that the health and safety of a nation’s people are an integral part of its overall success, the centers also address underlying factors—such as socioeconomic status, gender, race, and the environment—that affect human development.
