Est. 2019
Bruins for Business Health (BBH) was founded in 2019 when a group of UCLA undergraduate students realized the absence of business healthcare-oriented clubs on campus. With a mission to introduce free resources to fellow Bruins, BBH has since prepared several cohorts for a successful career in this emerging industry. Members have access to exclusive networking opportunities, tailored professional resources, and a business healthcare community!
