Our mission is to work in partnership with the community to promote
and protect the health and social well-being of all Houstonians

HDHHS provides traditional public health services and seeks to use innovative methods to meet the community’s present and future needs. Through the AIM project, HDHHS goes door-to-door in selected neighborhoods performing assessments, linking residents to services and providing immediate follow-up. We have partnered with nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and hospital district primary care clinics to enhance access to services for residents and improve the city’s health profile. Efforts include the innovative HIV testing program for the community called “Hip-Hop for HIV Awareness.” These services build a better, healthier cadre of youth and ensure a better future for at-risk children, schools and the community at large.
