The Desert Cities Association of Health Underwriters (DCAHU)
was officially formed as a separate local chapter of
NAHU in 2009 by a dedicated group of professionals
determined to bring the benefits of the industry's
premier agents' trade association to the health
insurance agents and brokers in the low desert and the
Coachella Valley, as well as all of Riverside County.
However, since 1998, there has been a local desert group
of Health Underwriters functioning as a satellite
chapter of IEAHU (Inland Empire AHU) , with its own
board of directors and local meetings and events in the
Coachella Valley. And in 2009, this dedicated group of
health insurance and brokers evolved into is own desert
chapter of NAHU.
DCAHU
now boasts a membership of some 70 agents, brokers, and
industry representatives. DCAHU is one of 15 local
chapters in the state of California, and across the
nation. There is a CA state chapter - CAHU (California
Association of Health Underwriters), and all local and
state chapters in the country comprise the membership in
our national organization - NAHU (National Association
of Health Underwriters). NAHU has over 20,000 members
and was formed back in 1930! Thus all DCAHU members are
also members of CAHU and NAHU automatically.
MISSION STATEMENT

goal is that every Californian will continue to have
