I am a medical director at a federally qualified health center which
serves as a safety net for disenfranchised at
risk populations at one of the largest health centers
in Brooklyn, New York. I also function as the research director for
the outpatient network. My volunteer efforts with
Virtue Foundation has provided me with the opportunity
to assist in developing sustainable health infratructures
for motivated underesourced communities
in need. This experience has been life changing
and possibly indispensible for the international communities
that we have served. The broad and multilayered vision
of Virtue Foundation due to tremendous leadership
and oversight has allowed us to deliver pragmatic and
sustainable interventions that foster community independence
and self direction that is critical for the viability of
long term positive health outcomes for communities in
need. The dedication, humility and devotion
to public service of the volunteers is one of the most compelling
features I have ever witnessed in an organization. I feel
it has been an incredible and life altering experience volunteering
for Virtue Foundation and one of the great highlights of my life that I hope
will only continue.
