About

The Center for Community Engagement (CCE), which also houses the Ethnic Health Institute, connects Samuel Merritt University with communities across Northern California through educational opportunities, community health programs, and workforce development initiatives. We integrate community engagement into curricular and co-curricular experiences for students, staff, and faculty while working with community partners to provide health services, address gaps in care, and help build a robust and compassionate future healthcare workforce.

Our community health programming is centered in three primary areas:

  • Heart Health & Hypertension
  • Human Trafficking Prevention & Response
  • Perinatal Equity

Across each area, we work alongside community partners to respond to locally identified needs while creating meaningful opportunities for members of the SMU community to learn, serve, and put their training into practice.

Your gifts to the Ethnic Health Institute and Center for Community Engagement support student activities within local health clinics, youth groups, and community centers.
