The Coalition for Health Communication is an inter-organizational task force whose mission is to strengthen the identity
and advance the field of health communication. This organization grew out of the recognition of the need for professionals and practitioners to be more aware of each others� contributions and to provide a focus for their interaction.

The organization seeks to promote the integrity of and advance the field of health communication while assuring a focus on communication in those efforts, and while recognizing that health communication research and practice
are conducted across numerous disciplines.
