Institute for Healthcare Advancement Mission

“Empowering people to better health”

The Institute for Healthcare Advancement (IHA) is a not-for-profit, 501 (c) (3) private operating foundation dedicated to education and advancing healthcare through innovative solutions.  As part of our services, we provide direct healthcare delivery in our community clinic using a unique model at the Friends of Children Health Center.  Outreach and social services are delivered to the community through our Family Resource Center of La Habra, including direct counseling, home visits, insurance assistance, case management, referrals and education.  And our “What To Do For Health” book series features easy-to-read and use healthcare information on caring for yourself and your loved ones.  We also conduct health education, outreach, and research programs to meet today’s healthcare challenges.
