As future healthcare professionals and healers, HHPO members strive to make a change in this world by changing the world of those we help. At first sight this statement may seem circular, but each and every one of us lives inside a bubble whether we are conscious of it or not. This bubble withholds all of one’s life experiences. It is this bubble that equivocates to the world that someone, and more specifically, a patient lives in. HHPO’s revolutionary volunteering program exposes students to recurring events that aid different demographics. This allows students to choose volunteering work that is personally connected to them. HHPO’s volunteering strength comes not from the number of those present but from this personal connection to its events. This perspective of volunteering is far from the typical ‘hours-on-a-log perspective.’ It is this characteristic of HHPO’s volunteering program that builds strong and motivated humanitarians.
HHPO’s special-cause events come as society provides and/or urges them. These events allow HHPO members to practice their duty as future healers to both advocate for public health and lead the community towards better healthcare. HHPO members do this by providing the footwork at walks like Walk to End Alzheimer’s, offering resources to patients like at education seminars with the National Kidney Foundation, or by participating in donation programs such as Kids Matter: Around the Block. Together these events instill in members the habits of the future health-care professional.
