Mission Statement

PAMF's Research Institute will be recognized nationally and internationally as a center of excellence in health care services, health policy, health promotion and outcomes research and training. It will leverage its close connection with health care delivery and patient/community education arms, and the information resources, of PAMF to design, execute, and rigorously evaluate new models of health promotion and health care using state-of-the-art research methods. The Research Institute will partner with Sutter Health and university-based colleagues to enhance the generalizability and applicability of research findings and will work with PAMF to bring into practice the lessons of its research.
