Humans of NHC: Sydney Nusbaum

Posted on: April 20, 2023Chicago

One of Erie Family Health Center’s highlights is the robust service year program. Each year, Erie hosts service year members from NHC, Avodah, and Amate. Sydney Nusbaum (she/her/hers), who has a background in Health Sciences, Public Health, and Economics, is a service year member from Avodah, and serves on the Social Determinants of Health team. “I decided to do a service year because it gave me the opportunity to explore healthcare more in a real world setting. I have seen a better future for health care in terms of better access and safety nets. This year, I have really enjoyed the chance to meet other service members and collaborate. It is more fun and you get to learn differently when working with someone else.” Some of Sydney’s best moments at Erie have been the monthly food distribution event at Waukegan and Erie’s Halloween celebration.
