Community Outreach

An important part of being a community-oriented physician involves ensuring high-quality outcomes for all members of the community you serve. Meritus prides itself on doing this through programs such as:

• Free groceries for those who can't afford healthy foods
• Calling to check in on patients experiencing loneliness and social isolation
• Free rides to doctor's appointments for those without transportation 
• Or meeting the patient where they are through the mobile clinic

If you want to participate in research and volunteer experiences that train you on being a community-oriented doctor,  You belong at MSOM.
