About CPHHE

The Center for Promoting Health and Health Equity (CPHHE) is a community-campus collaboration that promotes health and health equity through research, education and intervention. Community members and Creighton University health sciences faculty have formed a partnership of equal parity using seed funding from Nebraska Tobacco LB-692 monies.

The partnership develops, evaluates, and disseminates multidisciplinary culturally competent research methodologies and health promotion behavior interventions aimed at improving the health of vulnerable populations and reducing health disparities. Community health is the primary focus.
