Mission

The Institute’s mission is to contribute to the solution of complex and
challenging health policy problems through leadership in:

  • health policy and health services research
  • education and training
  • technical assistance
  • public service

We conduct, synthesize, and translate research among multiple academic
disciplines and fields to provide a base of evidence to share with people who
make decisions about health and health care.

We focus on providing information about policy decisions that will affect
people’s health and lives, from helping to improve clinical decision-making
at a patient’s bedside to assessing the potential impact of state and national
health legislation.

We help educate and train students, including post-doctoral fellows, in the
health professions and other disciplines, for future leadership in health policy
and health services research. We also help prepare fellows to take leadership
in public health and health care in government at the local, state, federal and
international levels, and in the non-profit and private sectors.

Most of all, we are committed to improving the health and health care of people in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area, the State of California, the nation, and the world.

Goals

  • Improve the health of the public
  • Improve health care
  • Build future health policy leadership
  • Improve the public’s understanding of public sector, private sector, and personal
    choices about health care and health
  • Improve health policy with research designed to impact public and private sector
    health policy decisions
