Mission
The Mississippi Health Advocacy Program's mission is to improve health policies and practices in Mississippi, especially in support of the state's impoverished and underserved populations.
Values
MHAP is committed to improving health policies, and practices in the many impoverished communities of Mississippi. Utilizing an approach that encompasses consumer service, research, analysis and community education, MHAP works to focus the public health policy discussion on the core issues of community needs and citizen participation.
Our MHAP health policy education efforts are then informed by this experience and prioritized according to the evolving needs of Mississippi families. MHAP considers program outcomes by looking beyond quantitative data measurement to also consider activities that result in health policy change.
