  2. Who we used to be… The Hispanic Health Professions Organization was established at The University of Texas at Austin as the National Chicano Health Organization. Their mission was to provide cultural fellowship for health, pre-med, and pre-dental students. Years later, the organization was changed to Mexican American Health Professions Organization.

  3. Who we are now… Throughout the years, HHPO evolved to an organization that acts as a stepping stone for students interested in health careers. HHPO is the largest organization in the College of Natural Science!

  4. Our Mission Our purpose is to provide pre-health profession students with academic resources, opportunities in clinical settings and peer support. Furthermore, HHPO strives to promote cultural fellowship, as well as impact Hispanic health through service and education in underrepresented communities.
