Community Health Improvement

Since our founding more than a century ago, a passion for helping others has been at the heart of everything we do at Cedars-Sinai. Community Health Improvement (CHI) is continuing that mission. Our aim is to build capacity for individuals to care for themselves by providing health education, screenings and vaccinations, increasing health literacy and connecting participants to ongoing care in their own neighborhoods. We collaborate with a robust network of community partners to address serious health issues such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer.

Community Health Improvement programs are offered at no charge throughout the year. Our programs include lectures presented by leading health experts, immunization clinics, evidence-based fitness programs and community health screenings and events.
