The UCSF Action Research Center for Health Equity (formerly the Center for Vulnerable Populations) carries out innovative research to prevent and treat chronic disease in populations for whom social conditions often conspire to both promote various chronic diseases and make their management more challenging. Founded in 2006, the ARC is based within the UCSF Department of Medicine, Division of General Internal Medicine and is located on the campus of San Francisco General Hospital. Beyond the local communities it serves, ARC is nationally and internationally known for its research in health communication and health policy to reduce health disparities, with special expertise in the social determinants of health, including literacy, food policy, poverty, and minority status, with a focus on the clinical conditions of pre-diabetes, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

Asian Network Hospice is seeking volunteers! We provide culturally sensitive, home health and end of life care to communities throughout the Bay Area. Volunteers primarily help with administrative support and patient appreciation projects. Volunteers may also be considered for the opportunity to socialize with patients. It is a great opportunity to support your local community, while gaining experience. Every year, college scholarships are also awarded to select volunteers.
