Thanks for the shoutout, @ dentistrytoday!

“Volunteering at the Chinatown event really showed me how people from all over can come together to help others. Students and volunteers from different neighborhoods and backgrounds worked side by side, sharing their time and energy to make a difference. It felt great to see everyone teaming up, proving that when we join forces, we can provide much better care and support for the community.” - Zhenni Zhang, DDS ’27

The event, themed "Standing Together for Healthy Communitie," brought together 34 community organizations and healthcare providers to provide residents with a variety of free health screenings and medical resources, attracting enthusiastic participation from seniors, families, and young volunteers."

"78-year-old Granny Chen said she has difficulty traveling and is hesitant to go to the hospital alone. 'Today, someone checked my bones, eyes, and ears, and taught me about fall prevention. I felt very thoughtful and didn't hesitate to ask questions.' She particularly mentioned that volunteers at the event assisted with registration and translation throughout the entire process, which made her feel very respected."
