Ethan Boyle, a member of Geisinger School of Medicine's MD Class of 2028, was awarded a highly competitive Gold Student Summer Fellowship from The Arnold P. Gold Foundation.
His project, "Action Against Healthcare Inequalities for Patients Experiencing Substance Abuse and Homelessness," will address healthcare access issues for people served by Scranton's Community Intervention Center (CIC). The project focuses on recording weekly vital signs for 100-150 patients, providing essential hygiene and harm-reduction products, and connecting patients to free healthcare clinics. The goal is to rebuild trust between this at-risk population and healthcare systems.
