Invest in your future physicians in our Central Valley
CHSU had a banner year achieving our goals to give Central Valley students an opportunity to attend medical school in their home town.
This Giving season, please consider being a voice for and investing in CHSU students – your future doctors – by supporting CHSU Student Scholarships.
Your donation will directly help talented students pursuing medical education and inspire them to serve patients in the Central Valley.
Together, we can Transform Our Community.
