"Each day when my alarm goes off the first thought that goes through my head is “I wish I could stay in bed all day,” but as soon as I step through the doors of the dental clinic I remember why I am there and why I wanted to become a National Health Corps AmeriCorps member."
"The exposure I gained to the most vulnerable community members allowed me to see what problems were most prevalent in this community and to create relationships with a huge range of people."
"National Health Corps (NHC) Florida members have the opportunity to serve in a number of roles, enabling them to enrich their local community in various ways."
"Finding opportunities outside of NHC programmatic and host site responsibilities is going to be the best way to help with burnout and a way to get more involved in the community."
"The great thing about the National Health Corps (NHC) Florida AmeriCorps program is that, along with the opportunities for professional growth and development, it comes with 20+ built-in friends."
"Serving with NHC allowed me to gain so much valuable public health experience. During my service term I have attended community meetings, collaborated with various health organizations, and have given presentations in front of hundreds of people."
"I’ve recognized aspects of my service term that I will carry forward to the next phase of my life and ultimately to the standard of care I wish to provide to future patients."
