The mission of the society is "to recognize, reward, and encourage academic excellence in the study of health administration".[8]

The name of the society is derived from the Greek words Υγείας (health), Φροντίδα (care), and Διοίκηση (to administer or lead).[9] Its colors are crimson red and blue.[4] Its flower is the rose.[10]
