About
Pilipinos for
Community Health
(PCH)
Established in 1989, Pilipinos for Community Health (PCH) at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has constantly advanced its efforts to educate and provide health services to the socioeconomically disadvantaged community of the Greater Los Angeles area. While addressing health issues that are prominent in the Pilipino community, we also acknowledge that these health problems are common in many other underserved communities. As a result, we choose to serve every recipient, regardless of nationality. With the health field as its outlet for service, PCH serves various groups at the university, local, and international levels.
PCH consists of eight components, four internal and four external components, including Health Fairs. See below to learn more about our components!
NOTE: Our Official PCH Website is currently under construction. Please come back soon!
