Comunidad for Health Equity

Members of CHE attend weekly general meetings, socials, and health conferences, build familias, volunteer, fundraise, and gain exposure in the health field. Join an outstanding network of students, alumni, and successful leaders in healthcare! Comunidad for Health Equity (CHE) is a pre-health/pre-med student-run organization at UC Berkeley that educates, empowers, and advocates for the health of the Latinx community. We are students pursuing a career in the health field (Doctors, Nurses, Dentists, Optometrists, Public Health professionals, etc.) and are interested in health issues that affect the Latinx community. Our goals are to motivate students, instill the desire to help the underserved, create a supportive environment, and provide health resources to empower the communities of Berkeley and Oakland. Our organization's General Meetings feature esteemed Latinx health professionals as guest speakers, conducting informative workshops on crucial topics like healthcare reform, mental health, and diabetes, and participating in the Minorities in Health Conference. We also prioritize community service, networking, and team-building events, while organizing socials and fundraisers like Taco Sales on Sproul. We provide academic support through study hours, 1/2 Unit Decal and offer scholarships for Latinx students, as well as opportunities for leadership development through our Intern Program with Board Officers.
