Volunteering with U2H allows me to give my time to a purpose that matters—supporting my local community while helping address global healthcare disparities in places where resources are limited.

"Driven by a passion for helping others, I have found the opportunity to do so through volunteering and the field of medicine. United 2 Heal has given me the unique opportunity to work with others driven by the same passion and help those in need who cannot directly be reached. As compassionate service is at the heart of meaningful healthcare, I aim to use my experience volunteering at World Medical Relief to not only deepen my understanding of medicine but also strengthen my resolve to positively impact people’s lives. Outside of school I love singing, dancing, and hanging out with friends."

"Volunteering has always been one of the most meaningful ways for me to connect with others and make an impact in my community. When I first joined U2H, I was looking for ways to broaden my involvement beyond more traditional settings like hospitals and blood drives. I wanted to explore opportunities that addressed healthcare from different angles, and U2H offered exactly what I was looking for. U2H has quickly become one of the most meaningful organizations that I have been a part of on campus. In addition to U2H's broader mission in expanding access to medical supplies, I also grew to value the people within the U2H community as well. I plan on becoming a Physician Assistant and the lessons I have learned from my time with U2H is definitely invaluable and something I will treasure as I move forward into my career. In my free time I love trying new cafes, going on walks, journaling, thrifting, and taking pictures!"

"Volunteering has always been one of my favorite ways to meet people while supporting those in need, and joining U2H has allowed me to continue that passion in college. I’ve felt incredibly welcomed by everyone I’ve met in this club, and it has inspired me to be more involved and adventurous on my journey to becoming a Physician. Leading the Pacemaker Lab has been such a highlight of my time with U2H, and I'm incredibly excited to continue working with everyone to expand our impact in such a unique field. If I'm not studying or volunteering, you'll probably find me drinking coffee, at the gym, or feeding walnuts to squirrels on the Diag!"

"U2H has been one of the most rewarding parts of my college experience because the volunteering is incredibly hands-on, meaning you can directly see the impact you're making every step of the way. Beyond that, the community is truly special, and I have met so many amazing people through this club. As a pre-dental student, being part of an organization that connects me directly to healthcare and underserved communities has deepened my passion for the field. U2H is the perfect place to channel a love for helping others into something that changes lives, both locally and around the world. Outside of school, I love playing pickleball, listening to music, and spending time with friends."

"My favorite part of volunteering is being able to see people work together as a team to make a meaningful difference. During my freshman year, I was looking for a community where I could really see this collaboration, and U2H gave me exactly that! Through my time in U2H, I’ve had the opportunity not only to support my own community but to contribute to global communities. It’s truly the people in this club who make the experience so special. As a pre-PA student, U2H has strengthened my passion for healthcare and has shown me the impact we can make when we work toward a common goal. In my free time, I love to spend time with my friends and family, bake, and try new restaurants around Ann Arbor."

However, since joining U2H I’ve realized that I truly have a passion for volunteering and engaging in acts of service (big or small) if it means I can help and support others in need. I am especially grateful for the sense of community U2H has given me. Being surrounded by such kind and selfless people has made it feel like I’ve found a family with shared values and passions, and I couldn’t be more thankful for that.
