HHSLA programs are supported by the Health and Human Service Academy. Our students enjoy the ability to service learn. HHSLA seeks scholarships, grants, and internships for juniors and seniors in our program.

Mission : We want to prepare graduates to enter the health care field or post secondary institutions prepared to learn and serve others with skill, ethics, and compassion; culturally sensitive and respectful of patients rights. Students are introduced to  Health, Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, Biotechnology, Robotics, HIT,  and Medicine to create an holistic understanding of the nexus between  effective and efficient of quality healthcare and STEM. The edification of  health information, health education,  health resources, innovative research is predicated on students understanding of the synergy between all models of human service; the Public Health Model; the Medical Model; the Social Welfare Model, and the Human Service Model. STEM and HHS are based on the ontological assumption that students, patients, healthcare providers, social service agencies and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service . are  extended networks of care essential to integrated healthcare access and delivery. 

Vision: increase the number of students from diverse background, cultures, and experiences to the healthcare profession.

The expected outcome of this effort is train high school students to become community health promoters and healthcare professionals ready and prepared to serve citizens in inner city; urban center, and rural communities of America; increasing the number of culturally diverse healthcare professionals prepared to decrease healthcare disparities; while decreasing the healthcare worker shortage in underserved communities. The overall impact of HHSLA is proud to join the fight to improve healthcare quality; healthcare access, healthcare delivery, while decreasing churning,  reducing healthcare cost, and increasing the number of high school students prepared to enter the healthcare professionals.
