Yuhaaviatam Center For Health Studies Grand Opening

The Yuhaaviatam Center for Health Studies at Claremont Graduate University (CGU) held its grand opening on May 11 after receiving one of the largest gifts in its nearly 100-year history. The former Huntley Bookstore building was converted into this innovative, multi-disciplinary health research center rooted in a health and well-being initiative. Its Serrano name translates to “people of the pines,” which refers to the original inhabitants of the Tribe’s ancestors. It will facilitate collaboration among CGU researchers, scientists and outside partners to address challenges within underserved populations of the Inland Empire and Indian Country.
