Our Mission
The Cultural Institute of Healthcare Education (CIHE) is committed to preparing compassionate, knowledgeable healthcare professionals. Our goal is to provide equitable access to healthcare education, empowering individuals to build sustainable careers in the industry.
Our Story
CIHE was founded by healthcare professionals who recognized a lack of representation and opportunities for individuals in underserved communities. Understanding the barriers to higher education, CIHE was established to provide practical, cost-effective training programs that prepare students for immediate employment.
