Hispanic Center of Execellence
The HCOE aims to improve the health and wellness of Latinx communities in Illinois. Our team delivers programs that increase the number of outstanding Latino/Hispanic applicants pursuing health careers. Our programs span the continuum of health education and promote the development of health practitioners who capably deliver language concordant and culturally responsive care to historically underserved Latinx communities.
Program Components
Primary Areas of Focus
- Retention or completion of health professions degree programs (support for those currently enrolled)
Desired Outcomes
The primary benefit for parents participating in this program is the development of parenting skills that will help prepare their sons and daughters for college and eventually careers in the medical profession. Parents who have participated in the past feel more prepared to answer the questions their students have about college, navigate the college application process and attain the knowledge needed to apply for scholarships and financial aid. Working together with HCOE staff, parents are more prepared to provide the support needed for their students during the junior and senior of high school, as well as a greater understanding of the support their sons and daughters will need once they are enrolled in college.
