Orange County Supervisor Chair Doug Chaffee has allocated $450,000 from his Fourth District Discretionary Funds to start an innovative pilot program at Cal State Fullerton known as the Community Health Ambassador Program. The program will launch in the City of Stanton this fall.
The program creates a model that promotes better health outcomes within the community by enhancing public health education and community well-being. It will engage students from CSUF’s Master of Public Health program who will design, implement and evaluate targeted interventions aimed at reducing health disparities.
This experience will not only provide students with real-world training but also empower local stakeholders with insights drawn from a leading national research institution.
The launch event for the Community Health Ambassador Program will take place 10 to 11 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 20, at CSUF’s Titan Student Union Alvarado Room. Media members can park in the State College Parking Structure.
WHEN: Wednesday, August 20, 2025
TIME: 10-11 a.m.
WHERE: CSUF’s Titan Student Union, Alvarado Room
Speakers will include Chair Doug Chaffee, CSUF President Ronald S. Rochon, CSUF Department of Public Health Chair and Professor Michele Wood, and a CSUF student.
