HPI is part of the Joint Center and was established in 2002 from a $7 million grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. HPI enhances the Joint Center's ability to meet one of its goals of improving the health status of black Americans and other people of color, and expanding their effective participation in the political and public policy arenas relating to health issues. Its stated mission is "to ignite a ˜Fair Health movement that gives people of color the inalienable right to equal opportunity for healthy lives."
