About

LSHP is a student-run community service project of Latinxs/Chicanxs for Community Medicine (LCCM) that runs free health fairs in Los Angeles County and in urban and rural sites in Tecate, Mexico. Fairs offer provider consultations, some by telemedicine, along with cholesterol, glucose and BMI screenings, nutrition advice and dental education. Its March 2025 rural Tecate fair saw 86 patients, a record for the group, with 19 LCCM student volunteers and dental education from the Latinx Pre-Dental Society. The project also recruits doctors, nurses, dentists and other professionals to staff its fairs.
