The Center for Health Education opened in 1974 as joint venture between Long Beach Memorial Medical Center and the University of California, Irvine. The purpose of the CHE is to provide continuing education for practitioners of the biomedical sciences and related fields, and public forums, lectures and instruction on health matters of interest to the general public. The Center for Health Education is a non-profit corporation under the parent company of MemorialCare Health System.
Center for Health Education Staff
The Medical Staff of Long Beach Memorial and Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital Long Beach are committed to promoting a CME program that supports and fosters comprehensive and cost-effective high quality care. The purpose of the CME program is to provide a forum through which assessment occurs, needs are identified, education is initiated and change in practice occurs. This includes supporting the individual practitioner with educational updates specifically related to the issues that arise in current practice circumstances, as well as anticipating new directions in patient care.
The Center for Health Education provides CME accreditation for education activities planned and coordinated by the medical staff at Long Beach Memorial, Miller Children's & Women's Hospital Long Beach and Community Hospital Long Beach. Long Beach Memorial is accredited by the Institute for Medical Quality and the California Medical Association to provide continuing medical education for physicians. In conjunction with the provision of CME credit, the CHE produces and distributes a monthly Calendar listing all approved educational activities. An attendance record for each physician is maintained as a service to assist them with their credentialing process.
