About Us
Health is a human right
The Center for Health and Human Rights was officially launched on Monday, December 10th, 2012, coinciding with the International Human Rights Day. The Center for Health and Human Rights is a nonprofit organization that works to offer quality medical care to underserved populations, engage in community education, and provide advocacy and policy analysis on matters of health and human rights.
Our Mission
Our mission is to offer short term acute care as well as long term care for chronic illnesses such as hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol and asthma/allergies. The Center is not a political entity. We are simply offering health as a human right.

Want to help our cause?
The Center is offering its services to all patients who do not currently have access to health insurance due to socioeconomic reasons. Our focus is serving populations residing in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area. Due to the diversity within this specific population, the Center will be sensitive to language needs and cultural barriers they face.
