Major in what you want and what interests you. Trying to major in something for medical schools is a bad idea.
So when the adcom for the medical school you are interviewing at asks you "Why did you chose to major in community health?" what are you going to reply with?
What happens if plans change in the near future? Are you going to be happy with a degree in community health?
Seriously, major in what you want. They don't care if you major in coloring, just get your 4-year degree and pre-reqs done and maintain the best grades possible.

Adcomms won't care what your major is. It is a good idea to major in what you will love doing as you're more likely to earn great grades. And great grades look TERRIFIC to adcomms.
Getting an excellent gpa is your first priority. Second priority should be taking a demanding course of study. What this means is that a 3.95 in Biomedical Engineering looks better than a 3.95 in Parks, Recreation & Leisure Studies. You should also enjoy what you study.
