ABOUT US

Consultancy and Research for the Public and Not-for-Profit Sectors

The Health Promotion Consulting Group (HPCG) was established in 1995 to undertake research, program development and program evaluation in the community and public health sector. In 2003, our mandate was expanded to include provision of training for service providers in health promotion planning, evaluation, and evidence-based practice.

We provide a range of services designed to increase the capacity of community and public health agencies to plan for, design, implement and evaluate comprehensive health promotion programs and strategies.
