Central Health HUB (Historically Underutilized Businesses) Program
Central Health is excited to announce new opportunities for Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs) to get involved in the health care district’s procurement processes. Our new HUB Program implements race and gender-conscious procedures designed to encourage minority-owned and women-owned businesses to do business with us.
Central Health recognizes all certifications, including:
- City of Austin Small Minority Business Resources Department (MBE/WBE)

Central Health has completed a Disparity Study about its utilization of Minority and Women Business Enterprises (“M/WBEs”) and Historically Underutilized Businesses (“HUBs”). This research project examines whether all firms have equal access to contracting opportunities on Central Health’s prime contracts and associated subcontracts and recommends strategies to ensure full and fair competition in Central Health contracting.
