The Pilipino Association for Health Careers started through a group of students who recognized the need for a support system among Cal pre-health students.

PAHC aims to promote and educate on current health-related issues in and around our Pilipino and extended communities. We develop a structure of dedicated students who integrate their knowledge, experience, and skills to seek information on various health issues and careers.

Through your donation, PAHC is excited to give back to the following organizations:
