The Impact Committee aims to cultivate relationships with the local Philadelphia community through various service-based initiatives. Students in this committee have the opportunity to experience and lead efforts that drive positive outcomes in healthcare management on a highly personal and community-driven scale. The goal of our committee is to leverage our privilege as students to proactively engage with Philadelphia residents to help combat the health-related systemic issues they are currently facing.

KEY INITIATIVES

One of our flagship initiatives is the annual Healthcare Scholars Program, a 4-week course that educates Philadelphia high school students about different sectors of the healthcare field. Another key initiative is our Access-to-Care Clinics, organized in collaboration with the University City Hospital Coalition, where members provide health literacy services, insurance assistance, food aid, mental health support, and more. Our committee also leads clinical volunteering efforts at local hospitals and coordinates cancer-screening services for underprivileged residents of West Philadelphia. Finally, we host fundraisers, coordinate collection campaigns, and propose new ideas throughout the year to further our mission.
