Thanks to a MedStudentsServe grant, California Northstate University medical students brought free, compassionate vision care directly to people who needed it most. From prescription glasses and eye exams to medications, Medi-Cal support, and referrals for ongoing treatment. They sat with patients who hadn’t seen a doctor in decades. They helped unhoused neighbors choose their first pair of glasses in years. They supported BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, immigrant, and refugee families who have long faced barriers to care. ✨
Applications for MedStudentsServe are now open at phcdocs.org/medstudentsserve. If you're a medical student with a project that lifts up your community, this is your moment. Apply for up to $2,500 and turn your idea into impact. Your compassion can change lives, and it starts with one project.
