I have long called Rhode Island home; however, it is my experience in the Health Equity Scholar (HES) program that has opened my eyes to the special, community-oriented place that it is. HES connections have brought us closer to both the community and to each other. I have been able to explore my interests in immigrant health and health disparities in Rhode Island Latinx communities through gaining hands-on exposure working with Clínica Esperanza, an experience made possible because of Brown and the HES program.

Health Equity Scholars Program Fund
Eliminating health disparities requires bold ideas, diverse perspectives, and a commitment to serve the most vulnerable communities. The Health Equity Scholars program at Brown is equipping future leaders with the knowledge and support they need to transform public health for the better.
Students participating in the Health Equity Scholars program come from three pathways: alumni of historically Black colleges and universities, alumni of Hispanic-serving institutions, and residents of Rhode Island.
Through the Health Equity Scholars Program Fund, donors are providing specialized training and financial aid to exceptional Master of Public Health (MPH) candidates—enabling them to develop the leadership and technical skills needed to combat health inequities and become the public health leaders of the future.
Improve human health for all.
