About the Author

Hello everyone! My name is Empress Alleyne, and I completed my Service-Learning Experience with Orlando Health at the Orlando Regional Medical Center in downtown Orlando.

I would like to thank my volunteer coordinators, Alicia Collado as well as Kiara Steele who welcomed me with opened into their volunteer program. I would also like to acknowledge my wonderful professor, Dr. Debra Edgar for encouraging me to participate in such a wonderful experience.

Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement

My project aimed to evaluate the medical atmosphere within Orlando Health’s Orlando Regional Medical Center. During my service learning experience, I had the pleasure of working alongside many doctors and nurses while learning the ins and outs of the hospital setting. I gained knowledge I never believed I could gain before my experience at the Regional Medical Center. Overall, I feel that this experience allowed me to not only benefit my own well-being, but it allowed me to benefit others. Although my service did not entail a hearty workload, my service significantly impacted a population of individuals more than I realized during the time of my experience, and for that, I am genuinely grateful.
