This Year we partnered with City Year L.A to spend a lovely sunny day to beautify and rehabilitate Edison Middle School in South Los Angeles. We painted murals, refurbished the play-yard and met other volunteers from all over the community. We brought over 30 volunteers -- HealthCorps Alumni, Escalera students, AltaMed co-workers, friends and family. The entire event brought together over 1000 people and was a lot of fun!
Check out photos from the event on our photo page and stay tuned for the video and information about our upcoming
The 2009-1o Full-Time members officially "graduated" on August 13th. We had a lovely commencement banquet with awards, slideshows, videos, and a special keynote speech from AltaMed's Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Martin Serota, who led a lively discussion on the place of Community HealthCorps alumni in as Healthcare Reform takes shape. The moral of the story.. Health Education and Outreach will be highly important roles, "think outside the box" for new ways to serve the healthcare needs of underserved communities!
Best of luck to the 2009-10 HealthCorps graduates, we can't wait to see what you do next.
