<p>StudentsCare is a national nonprofit organization with chapters on college campuses all across the country that aims to connect undergraduate healthcare students nationwide with hospitalized children, their families, and isolated seniors to provide friendship and support. At the University of Pennsylvania's Chapter, we work with St.Christopher's Hospital for Children, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and the Veterans Affairs Hospital all located in the greater Philadelphia area. Students have a weekly shift time where they visit with pedicatric patients or a senior and build a relationship with individuals. A great experience for anyone considering entering into a medical field or just looking to give back to the community.&nbsp;</p>

Connecting college students with hospitalized children and isolated seniors

"StudentsCare has given me the opportunity to continue my community service interests in college that is also related to my interests in the healthcare community. I love that this club has allowed me to contribute to the Philadelphia community in a meaningful way."

"StudentsCare has been a highlight of my time at Penn. Through volunteering at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children and being on the StudentsCare Board, I’ve been able to pursue my passion for healthcare while making meaningful relationships with patients, families, and other StudentsCare members. This organization has allowed me to engage with the Philadelphia community in a productive and positive way and I couldn’t be more thankful."
