Education & Research (CCHER)

Since 1987, CCHER have been working toward improving the quality of life for members of our immigrant community, especially those who have cultural and linguistic difficulties, and those living with HIV/AIDS and others. Our goal is to create greater access to medical, mental, social and prevention services. As a whole, CCHER strives for a comprehensive relationship between community, health service, education, and research to reduce health disparities and to address the public health needs of individuals.
