Community is Key...
...in all that Communities & Health Professionals Together does. The community provides a rich, non-traditional classroom outside the walls of the hospital and clinics necessary for residents to get the best training possible. The partnership formed by community members and UC Davis ensures that the relationship between future and practicing health professionals, and the communities in which they practice, will be better suited to unite around important health issues in a holistic way.
