About
My personal experiences with healthcare disparities in Rural Alabama and my deep involvement with the Buduburam Refugee Camp in Ghana have shaped the foundation of Unified Healing for Rural and Global Health.⚕️ As the founder, my journey from witnessing profound health inequities to spearheading this organization embodies our commitment to fostering health equity across the globe.
Our organization stands as a beacon of hope and action, propelled by a deep understanding of the challenges faced by communities both locally and internationally. Through Unified Healing, we seek to enact meaningful change, addressing the critical healthcare needs of underserved populations and advocating for a world where health equity is not just an ideal, but a reality. 🌎 ➜ =
Vision 🔜
"A World United in Health"
Our vision is a world where quality healthcare is not a privilege but a fundamental right, accessible to all irrespective of where they live or their financial background. We envision a future where the gap in healthcare between regions and economies is a closed chapter in history.
“Healthcare is a right, not a privilege. We work to make sure everyone has access to quality care, regardless of where they live or their financial status.”
Mission 🙌
"Empowering Health Equity Worldwide"
At Unified Healing, we are dedicated to erasing the stark lines dividing healthcare standards globally. By immersing pre-health students and medical & health professionals in the realities of global health inequality, we ignite a lifelong commitment to this cause. Our strategic initiatives include disease control programs, augmenting volunteer efforts, revitalizing healthcare infrastructures in underserved communities, and so much more. Our mission transcends borders, striving for equity in healthcare both in the bustling cities and the forgotten rural corners of the United States and beyond.
