Healthcare equity project - help wanted!

Hey everyone, I know this group's been pretty dead but I've been working on a project behind the scenes and wanted to gauge interest.

Essentially I wanted to come up with a project to expand healthcare access across certain communities. This led me to the realization that one of the biggest barriers isn't actually clinical, it's technological.

Telehealth exploded during COVID, but a huge portion of our community, especially older adults, got left behind. They want to use virtual care. They need to use virtual care. But they don't know how to join a video call, navigate a patient portal, or even figure out which button to press. So they miss appointments. They delay care. And the gap keeps widening.

As a potential solution I'm launching a program called HealthBridge. It's a free, community-based initiative where we partner with senior centers and clinics to provide:
- Hands-on workshops teaching seniors how to use telehealth
- One-on-one coaching for device setup
- Simple, visual guides they can keep

No medical expertise required. Just patience and a willingness to help.

I've built out the full framework: partnership templates, workshop curriculum, tracking tools, the whole thing. But this project is meant to scale, and I know there are other pre-meds in this group looking for meaningful ways to spend their gap year.

If you're interested in:
- Actually *building* something that helps people
- Getting direct patient engagement experience
- Creating tangible deliverables for your med school app
- Spending your gap year on something that matters
