A New Era Begins – CDU Celebrates Health Professions Education Building Ribbon-Cutting

On July 11th, the Charles R. Drew University Health Professions Education Building (HPEB) celebrated a major milestone with its ribbon-cutting ceremony to unveil the completed building. The celebration followed the medical school's White Coat Ceremony, welcoming the inaugural class of students who will learn and train in the new facility. The 60,000-SF HPEB is a cornerstone of the University's commitment to educating the next generation of diverse healthcare professionals and advancing its mission of social justice, health equity and community-focused care.

We are honored to have partnered with CDU on a project that will expand educational opportunities, advance health equity and inspire future generations of healthcare professionals. Read more about the event here. Stay tuned for more updates on the Health Professions Education Building soon!

“Today is a testament to what is possible when a community invests in its own future. For 60 years, CDU has stood alongside the people of South Los Angeles, preparing healthcare professionals committed to serving the patients who need them most.”

Dr. David M. Carlisle, CDU President and CEO
