ENCompass

volunteer at both clinical and social care sites to connect our clients with resources that address their individual needs. We aim to address both short term and long term concerns for our patients (ranging from addressing food insecurity to obtaining prenatal care). We provide our services during the wait times at these facilities, using otherwise unutilized time to benefit our clients. We are strictly a volunteer organization and provide our services at no cost. We are in part inspired by Rebecca Onie’s TED Talk: “What if our health care system kept us healthy”, which emphasizes the American healthcare system’s underutilization of student volunteers and the importance of “health-care” over “sick-care”.
