OUR HISTORY
OUR ROOTS
/
01
The College of the Canyons Health and Medical Society (CHAMS) was founded in 2011, by active health care students at College of the Canyons. Since then the club has been reformatted and changed to better meet the needs of its members. As an active club, Chams has volunteered in many community events, such as Relay for Life and Night the light. Chams since then has allied with AMSA to form the club Chamsa in an effort to help better the community, and its members .

/
When the club was first formed, it was designed to gather the entire health care field into one club. This was too big of a task, since there are so many different fields and not enough time to cover them all. since then, Chams has evolved and adapted to life at C.O.C and will cover the range of fields its members will want to cover. With connections with the health and nursing department, and an annual pre-health symposuim chams has much to offer for its members.
