Project HEALTH is a national non-profit organization that aims to break the link between poverty and poor health by assisting clinic patients with accessing community and government resources. We are part of a much bigger national trend toward innovative social entrepreneurship and we pride ourselves on recruiting volunteers who are truly committed to our vision. Students DO NOT have to be a pre-med or science major to join or benefit from volunteering with Project HEALTH.
If you would like more information about Project HEALTH, we suggest reading an article featuring the CEO of Project HEALTH, Rebecca Onie, in TIME magazine's 100 Most Influential People story.
Please e-mail the program manager, Kellie Burns, if you have questions or are interested in volunteering or visit www.projecthealth.org for more information on the application process.
