National Health Corps San Francisco

"Working in street medicine and palliative care showed me how much care depends on coordination and communication across teams, providers, and systems that don’t always talk to each other. It also shifted how I think about care more broadly. I learned that care isn’t always about having answers or fixing things quickly, but about showing up consistently, building trust, and being okay with uncertainty while navigating complex systems alongside people."

"I think the most impactful part of my service was in large part those relationships that I built with patients and with staff. At the heart of it, besides helping people to manage their chronic conditions through , those relationships that you build through are also a big part of what the program is about. Building trust with patients helps bridge the gap between patients and the overall clinic... I feel like that's something that I still think about today." 🍎
