Our History
Health Studies Collegium (HSC), a 501(c)3 a non-profit foundation, was established in 1990 by a group of distinguished scholars
whose intent was to create a biotechnology institute. Holding a collaborative vision, the Collegium’s like-minded
members shared a commitment to scientific tolerance, intellectual diversity and open access to knowledge. For over 20 years, HSC has
focused on researching the mechanisms of health, and conducting community-based, randomized controlled trials to test the clinical
and cost-effectiveness of health promotion models.
HSC is headquartered in Ashburn, VA, and has a presence in Washington, DC.
