The MedEd Health Initiative
Student Developed, Student Operated.
Bringing essential care and resources to support the refugee community in the Greater Sacramento Region.
Our Mission
This is a 501(c)(3) organization located in Sacramento, CA. We are a group of healthcare students dedicated to serving the uninsured, underinsured, and refugee communities in Sacramento. As one of the nation’s largest host cities for refugees, Sacramento presents a critical need for enhanced healthcare services for these populations.
In collaboration with the Tarbiya Institute, we have organized health fairs to serve our community. These events focus on screening for chronic health conditions that may be overlooked due to a lack of stable preventative care. We also provide information on accessing free clinics available in our area. Looking ahead, one of our upcoming projects includes inviting a Medi-Cal representative to our fair, who will assist attendees with enrolling in health insurance and help those interested in obtaining coverage.

Service
As a non-profit, service is at the core of our goals. We are committed to making a large impact through dedicated and wholehearted service of our volunteers.

Compassion
We believe that compassion has the power to transform lives and create a more caring and healthier community.

Accessibility
One of our main goals is to increase accessibility to healthcare. We aim to provide our resources in various languages and are focused on bringing care directly to the diverse communities of Sacramento.
