Coordinator Testimonials

Ben Spoer

"HealthCorps is the most important thing I have ever done. I love this organization and enjoy the people in it. We are doing great work at the right time."

Chioma Enweasor

"I know high school students are not thinking about cancer. No one thinks about cancer or heart disease until it happens to them. I want high school students to feel healthy, to be healthy.

Chip Hilley

"Every day is different working as a HealthCorps Coordinator. This job is so rewarding because the 'life skills' we are instilling in students will carry with them as they become confident, successful, and healthy adults.

Chrystal Okonta

“The great thing about HealthCorps is that I can take my passion for health and really talk to the people that need it the most – the high school students that are gonna be making good health decisions in the future.”

Hannah Cohen

"As you ask your school to try new things, you will too. Schools look to you for advice.

Jeff Lin

“I am tremendously proud of having become a health educator, mentor, resource, and advocate at one of New York City’s most underserved public high schools. As I seek a career in public health law and policy, the insights and experiences I have gained through HealthCorps have prepared me to become a more compassionate and effective health advocate.

Mary Kathryn Rains

"I treasure every second as a HealthCorps Coordinator and live for the moments when my students take ownership of their minds and bodies. Each day, we are one step closer to a healthier nation, and that sense of activism will resonate with me forever.

Mohammed Faiz Khan

Because of my background in health and HealthCorps training, I assist in an after school program that helps obese students by giving nutrition and exercise advice, including one-on-one nutrition consultations. I show students how easy and fun it can be to make simple changes that can really benefit their health at the HealthCorps Club, which I run after school fou

Sarah Frank

"I wake up every morning, too early, and I still love my job. I don't think too many other people feel that way, day after day after day."

Stew Schaefer

"An agent of change is leader who inspires people to not only change themselves but also those around them. HealthCorps Coordinators embody this leadership in their schools and communities."

Tamara Bockow

"After college, I embarked on a journey and committed myself to a year of public service with Dr. Mehmet Oz's organization, HealthCorps. The Brooklyn high school I worked at was a far cry from the idealistic Ivy League institution I came from.

Utibe Essien

"When I moved on last year I started working at the Children's Hospital at Montefiore in the Bronx, conducting clinical research in the Pediatric Oncology department. I also spent a lot of time applying to medical school which I am happy to say I have been accepted to and will be starting this Fall!
