We will never know how close the 35-year-old Andy Lonergan came to making his Premier League bow, but Liverpool’s acquisition of the journeyman goalkeeper captures the unorthodox side of one’s imagination. Andy Goram to Manchester United, anyone?

Remote Area Medical

More interesting is my new project. As I told you in my last post, I spent the summer in Hershey, PA doing research. During that summer I spent most of my time doing research, working for my online classes and working out. Dr.Gresso who has been my counselor for the past 6 years and has helped me integrate Penn State’s Schreyer Honors College frequently sends me emails about articles related to healthcare. One day that summer she emailed me a New York Times article about Remote Area Medical, an organization that sets up free clinics throughout the USA in order to offer healthcare to Americans that do not have access to care, whether it is for financial or geographical reasons. After reading that article, I talked about it with my roommate at the time who’s now my bestfriend at Penn State. I mentioned the idea of fundraising and use the money to travel to those clinics and work as volunteers. With a recently obtained EMT certification, I felt like volunteering at those clinics would be the perfect opportunity to get medical experience. As a very impulsive person, I did not think twice and decided to email one of the volunteer coordinator of RAM and ask the feasibility of bringing a dozen college students to one of those clinics. After a short month, I got a call from the volunteer coordinator while I was taking a week off in Texas following my internship. She explained to me how excited she was and that they had never been in touch with Penn State students before. What started off as a simple phone call was the beginning of an adventure. 

When I came back to school, the first thing I did was talk about the phone call to my bestfriend. It wasn’t until a month before the clinic that I realized how much work we had to do to get this going. One night, I emailed a few people from the honors college asking them what I would need to do to get funding and organize this through the honors college, which would be the most convenient for what I considered as our “prototype”. A few days later, I was working on applications to receive funding, my friend and I were meeting with a few people to try to sell our event, and we ended up getting the money we needed for this. However, we were running out of time and we had to sign up the students that volunteered to go, reserve a van, a hotel room close to the clinic which was set in West Virginia, and find a driver for our van. A week and a half before the clinic, my friend talked to me for a few minutes “Listen Alex, I know you are very optimistic about this whole trip but I’m not sure if we’ll be able to make it, we’re really running out of time”. He was was being a great friend at that point for being realistic and honest with me. However, as my mentor has always told me, you should never be realistic. Always be optimistic, dream big, and back those huge dreams up with an even bigger work ethic. A week later, we had a medical student coming from Penn State’s College of Medicine to be our driver and 7 Schreyer scholars ready to make a difference. We made it to our hotel in West Virginia, which was 7 hours away, around 3am. At 4:50am, we were up and on our way to the clinic. We spent our day volunteering from 5am until 6pm. We saw hundreds of patients, some so generous and thankful to the point that they shook every single volunteer’s hand. The following day was calmer but we still ended up offering $200,000 worth of care to over 500 patients in a single week-end. My fellow Penn Staters and myself had never worked that hard before in our life. However, the reward of helping people and making this trip happen was absolutely worth it. See below for pictures of our trip. 

We had such a great time and the people at RAM and Schreyer so happy that we are now working to create a student chapter of RAM here at Penn State. After talking with the clinic coordinator and officializing the club within the next month, we wil start working on organizing RAM’s first free clinic in Pennsylvania. If you’re interested in starting a RAM chapter at your institution, please let me know! There are a lot of people in the US that lack access to health care and this is what RAM is for! We as students can make a difference!
