Our Impact
-
Policy Advocacy
Empower Health uplifts youth voices in public policy by encouraging students to engage with health equity issues through advocacy, analysis, and action. We’ve collaborated with students across the country to bring awareness to disparities in healthcare access and representation. Our team also works to ensure young people have the tools to turn research into meaningful policy proposals that drive change in their communities.
-
Community Education
We lead educational initiatives that connect students with the knowledge and confidence to speak on public health and social policy. Through virtual workshops, open discussions, and mentorship programs, Empower Health helps bridge the gap between healthcare and civic engagement. Our goal is to make health education approachable and community-centered.
-
Sustainability & Fundraising Projects
Our fundraising efforts focus on creating lasting impact, whether that’s supporting student-led public health programs or building sustainable outreach initiatives. Together, we’ve launched donation drives and partnered with local organizations to bring health resources to underserved areas. Every project is designed to leave a tangible mark on both our environment and the people we serve.
-
Research & Publications
Empower Health provides a platform for students to publish their own research, reflections, and analyses on health equity and policy. We amplify voices that might otherwise go unheard by showcasing work that blends social science, medicine, and advocacy. Contributors have explored everything from healthcare access to the ethics of medical outreach, sparking critical dialogue among young researchers.
-
STEM & Health Programs
Through Empower Health, our team connects future health leaders with real-world experiences in medicine and research. Our cofounders have worked on medical outreach and research initiatives at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, inspiring students to explore intersections of science, ethics, and community care. These programs encourage curiosity and compassion, two qualities that drive true innovation in healthcare.
-
Equity & Inclusion
Empower Health advances diversity by ensuring health programs and research reach underserved communities. Through targeted outreach, culturally informed education, and partnerships with local organizations, we work to reduce healthcare disparities and amplify the voices of marginalized populations.
Building health equity across borders
Our trip to Africa reflects Empower Health’s mission to advance health equity through action and compassion. As cofounders, we worked with local partners to distribute medical and nutritional products to communities affected by malnourishment. This experience strengthened our commitment to addressing global health disparities and inspired us to continue creating sustainable, student-driven impact.
