Impact Story

"They found my high blood pressure before it was too late."

"I hadn't seen a doctor in five years because I couldn't afford it. The H4H student volunteers set up a clinic near my shelter. They were so kind, took my blood pressure, and immediately connected me with a free local clinic for medication. They quite literally saved my life."

What Our Volunteers Say

format_quote

"Although I began with H4H as a sophomore in college and fully expected to be done upon graduation, here I am, four years later and planning on more. The fact that we live in a first-world country and still have people without their basic healthcare needs being met is hard to believe, and I'm glad to see an organization like H4H trying to bridge this gap."

Ashton Collins

International Affairs

"Joining International led me to become part of the Mental Health team in its infancy. Since then, we've worked hard to make mental health screenings a vital part of the H4H model. Mental illness is highly prevalent in homeless populations; it is vital that these services be provided for those who seek help."
