Vancouver, BC – June 6, 2026
Runyi Guan, Founder of GYF’s Life and Health Science Club.
On June 6th, 2026, the Life and Health Science Club was officially established to provide a supportive environment for students to engage with the community, serve others, and gain valuable insight into the healthcare field.
Our club connects students who are passionate about health sciences through volunteer opportunities, educational workshops, guest speaker events, and discussions on current topics in healthcare. Members have the opportunity to explore different healthcare professions, develop leadership and communication skills, and gain meaningful experiences that support their academic and career goals.
The club fosters a welcoming community where students collaborate, exchange ideas, and learn from one another while making a positive impact through service. By participating in health-related initiatives and community outreach, members develop a deeper understanding of the importance of compassion, teamwork, and lifelong learning in healthcare.
“We want to inspire students to explore the healthcare field, serve their communities with compassion, and develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence to become future leaders in health sciences.”
