PROSPERA INSTITUTE
Prospera Institute is an early-stage, independent research tank informing the public about the attitudes and trends shaping health in Latino, Black and Indigenous communities domestically and globally. Dedicated to prospering racial health, we envision a world of racial health equity for our respective communities. We bring together community stakeholders, ethicists and lay persons while applying ethical reasoning to the most challenging health equity problems in medicine, science and cultural societies.
Our mission is catalyzed through research, education and social action engaging Latino, Black and Indigenous communities in efforts that advance racial health equity.

We will always hold the best interests of Latino, Black and Indigenous communities’ members while not distancing ourselves from historical patterns that have fostered health inequality.
