Our co-founder, Chris Xu, came to join our Saturday clinic this week. “It’s wonderful to see the different ways that the hep b project has improved in,” said Chris. “I’m constantly in awe of the enthusiasm and dedication that our volunteers possess.”

“It was a cold, sprinkly day, but it was super fun and was a very good day for me to learn the workings of the clinics!” said volunteer Tracy Chuong.

From Clinic Coordinator Johnny Pham, reflecting on the year. “What a year it has been. Today is my one year anniversary. It was this day today last year that i first started going to clinic. Reflecting back, i am amazed at how much clinic has improved. Clinic started out with a few patients coming in each week, but now we’ve upped the numbers. We are now educating and screening so many patients, such that each Wednesday is busy with follow-up vaccinations.

Reflecting on my time here, I can say i am blessed to be working with the people here. They are kind, unselfish, and very motivated to help the community. Clinic has benefited so much from students running outreach events.  It is suprising what this grassroots organization has accomplished (outreach, clinic, winning a Pepsi refresh grant, fundraising) even though we’re simply students who only have their compassion and care to give.

I want to thank my clinic co-coordinator Michelle Lo for being a fantastic partner in working on some tough issues in improving clinic. I couldn’t have had a better co-coordinator. I also want to thank Kathy and Dr. Wallin for supporting us.

Lastly, i would like to thank the every one of you who have been coming to clinic.  Thank you for donating your time to clinic; thank you for your service. Without you all, clinic wouldn’t exist.”
