About
Our Story
Since 1989, Pilipinos for Community Health (PCH) has stood as a student-led organization dedicated to promoting health equity and empowerment. What began as a small group of UCLA students seeking to address health disparities in the Pilipino community has grown into a movement that serves both Los Angeles and the Philippines.
We believe health should be both free and culturally relevant, and our efforts reflect that belief—whether we are providing hypertension and BMI screenings at Tambuli in Los Angeles Filipinotown or traveling abroad to reach places like Nueva Valencia, Guimaras (2024) and General Nakar, Quezon (2025).
