Meetings

We have weekly General meetings and weekly Business meetings. General meetings are used as informational workshops where we have guest speakers come in to talk about various health issues, and we also have health professionals come and talk about their experiences, and answer any questions          members may have. Business are used to plan the general meetings and all of our other events.  Go to Meetings for more information.

Fundraisers

In order for us to finance all of our expenses we rely on our ASUC sponsorship, on donations and on our Taco Fundraisers. We usually hold 3 fudraisers per semester in which we sell Tacos, Quesadillas, Hot Dogs, Popusas, and drinks. All profit goes back to the organization so that we can fund our CHE fair, and MIH & DDLM conferences. All members are welcomed to help out!

Socials

CHE promotes a community based environment because we know how important it is for members to be able to rely on each other so that they can help each other out. Our socials help members interact with one another and it also serves as a stress reliever from academics and other work. Our previous socials have consisted of Picnics, Broomball, Skate Night, Bowling, Ice skating, Halloween Party, and Secret Santa Exchanges. We encourage everyone to attend these socials!

Dia De Los Muertos

The Dia de Los Muertos (DDLM) Pre-Med/Pre-Health Conference is a conference put on by the Bay Area CHE’s and the hosting of the conference is rotated on an annual basis between Berkeley, Stanford, and UC Davis. The goal of the conference is to provide premedical and pre-health students of color with information about applying to Medical School, Public Health School, Dental school, Pharmacy School and Nursing School, and to inspire them through a series of workshops, panels, and medical-student run gross anatomy demonstrations. Although the DDLM conference has a Latino theme, all students are welcome. It has developed into a unique opportunity to share the Latino culture and draw attention to health issues prevalent in the Latino and other underrepresented communities.

Community Health Education Health Fair

Our Annual Community Health Education Fair targets the underserved community of Berkeley. We expect at least 200 community members to participate in the health fair and take advantage of free health screenings and services that we  provide. Medical services are provided by medical professionals who donate their time to our health fair. Our goal is to provide a means for the underserved and underprivileged members of our community to get health check-ups and health information without the cost of visiting a doctor. Along with free screenings and services, we also put together a small First Aid kit (band aids, alcohol swabs, etc.) that we distribute to all those that participate in the health fair. Our CHE Fair is one of our biggest events of the year along with our DDLM and MIH Conferences. More information under Events Tab
