Our Programs
Since our inception, the chapter has remained firmly committed to serving the Oakland Bay Area, and the funding that drives the work that we do comes from our signature fundraiser, The Cotillion.
Our community service programs are implemented through five Facets.
Dr. Me!
Umbrella Program
Dr. Me! is a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) enrichment program designed to expose elementary school-aged children in grades Kindergarten-Fifth (K-5) to careers in healthcare, emphasizing medical science, ultimately including but not limited to dentistry, nursing, and research. Dr. Me! incorporates the use of role-playing and a fun, interactive, hands-on curriculum designed to actively engage young minds, letting them know that careers in the medical field are not only exciting but also achievable. Dr. Me! gives insight into healthcare contributions made by physicians, researchers, and other medical professionals and motivates them to succeed. Dr. Me! is an Umbrella Program that is implemented collaboratively by our five facets: - Services to Youth - The Arts - National Trends and Services - International Trends and Services - Health and Human Services
