Natalie Rincon served as a Program Coordinator with Help Desk—a student initiative addressing the social determinants of health to reduce health disparities. She helped launch a new project in which student volunteers, instead of case managers, screened patients at Lincoln Community Health Center for social needs and referred them to community resources.

This is a very good initiative! I am impressed by the leadership you demonstrated by launching this new project. I wanted to ask what was your biggest challenge when creating this new project and how were you able to navigate or solve these challenges, if any?
Amazing work, Natalie! What a challenging, engaging, and meaningful summer experience! Seems like you learned a lot!
Hi Natalie! One thing I was curious about was if the students were also trained by the case managers and if this role is still filled by undergraduate students. I find it so valuable that students are able to engage with the community on this level and learn about social needs in a way that our classes cannot teach us. Thank you so much for sharing your work!
