I joined Y4P because as a son of two immigrants, I’ve always had a desire to help those new to our country, specifically refugees, assimilate to life here. While an undergrad at Emory, I was able to build deep connections with those in the refugee community that I hope to further develop now as a medical student and future physician.

Nikolas Chea
Augusta University
Nursing
My family were refugees from Cambodia after the mass genocide known as the Khmer rouge and growing up I have had first hand experience with Cambodian communities living in poverty without health education. I've been a cardiac nurse for the past year and I was able to see firsthand how many patients grew up without education regarding their health. I joined Y4P to give back and take time to hopefully spread awareness and keep the community healthy !

Anuoluwapo (Anu) Titliayo-Samuel
Georgia State University
Degree
I got involved with Y4P because I was looking for a way to serve my community medically. As an immigrant myself, I understand how it can be difficult to adjust to life in a new country especially when it comes to health. However, I chose to leave my country, a lot of the refugees didn't have a choice and if there was anything I could do to make that transition easier, I was happy to no matter how small. I also loved the idea that it was a group of premeds and medical students who had this passion for the community and for medicine.

I joined Y4P to learn more about the communities that surround us. There is a lot that is happening in our world today and we may not know of it. I saw joining as a chance to educate myself about the refugee community we have here in Clarkston which is something I didn't know of before. I have always enjoyed volunteering and this was an opportunity to be mentored by medical students and give my time to the communities that surround us.

Y4P has a powerful multi-tiered model for changing health outcomes by focusing on prevention over cure. This mission and the grass-root level work Y4P fellows engage with resonated with me and was why I joined. Individuals have a lot of power to change their health outcomes through lifestyle choices and I am humbled to be a part of this effort.
