About the Author

Hi, I am in my second year at UCF. I would like to thank my LEAD teacher Dr. Edgar, as she was wonderful to have as a professor and mentor this semester.

Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement

I did my service learning project at a nonprofit called Shepherd’s Hope. Shepherd’s Hope works to provide free healthcare to uninsured individuals. During my time there I fulfilled the roles of the front desk. This involved me checking in and checking out patients into the online patient manager. I also helped discharge patients, giving them their paper prescriptions and notes from the doctor. While there I learned about the impact of having no insurance can have on a family, or an individual, and how stressful that can be. I also witnessed the wide range of patients that came into the clinic from as young as 1 year old, to as old as 80 years old.
