The ARC House
Clinic, established
in 2003 under the
guidance of Dr.
Alida Evans
provides health
care for residents
of ARC House.
MEDiC has provided me with a place where I have been able to learn
and grow while making a difference in other peoples’ lives. It has allowed
me to expand upon and solidify facts and figures presented in class as I
merged them with human stories heard at clinic. As the clinic coordinator
at ARC, I have had the privilege of forming relationships with patients who
come to be seen for their chronic health conditions monthly. This unique
opportunity has allowed me to see the rewards and challenges of providing
care to patients with chronic health issues.
MEDiC has also allowed me to be part of a multidisciplinary team of
individuals dedicated to improving the health of others. I have been
humbled by the continued dedication, knowledge, and passion that Dr.
Evans has shared with patients and volunteers alike at ARC. She has both
supported and inspired me through my tenure as I developed my
leadership and communication skills. I will be forever grateful for my time
spent with MEDiC. It has truly allowed me to engage in medicine in its
human form.
