About the Author

Hello! My name is Matthew SIverio, I am a 2nd year pre-med Student at the University of Central Florida. I would like to thank Shepherd's Hope for allowing to volunteer with them. I couldn't do this without them.

Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement

The purpose of my project to showcase the organization Shepherd's Hope. Shepherd's Hope seeks to help communities who live below the poverty line and those who lack health insurance. Key activites I performed was discharge, where I helped communicate to patients the next step of their treatment process; as well I volunteered in the nursing role where I gather patient vitals and history to provide to the doctor. Through this organization I have learned valuable communication skills as well as the ability to comfort others going through hardships.
