“Food breaks the ice for clinic staff and patients… Food is a means of connection, and I am grateful to be reminded to slow down, talk, and enjoy food with the community I am serving.”

“As NHC members, our main responsibility is to serve others, but that doesn’t mean you should neglect your well-being. In my service year so far, I have learned so much about public health, health programs, and public service, but the greatest lesson I’ve learned is how to take care of myself.”

“The community has shown me that while data and programs are crucial, genuine human connection often makes the biggest impact. Being present and listening actively is imperative to offer individualized, empathetic care.”
