College of Health

The rationale for creating a College of Health (COH) has consistently centered on incorporating the values and mission of Cal State 91吃瓜 while addressing critical workforce and healthcare needs in our region. Much of the information presented here is drawn from the report submitted by the Implementation Task Force, whose work underscored the campus’s commitment to integrating themes of social and health equity, as well as palliative care, into the proposed College of Health (COH). These priorities are in direct response to current and projected regional healthcare demands.

The Implementation Task Force report outlines the proposed mission, vision, and values for the COH as follows:
