Rural Oklahoma is filled with small farm communities and small towns. Towns where everyone knows everyone and family is of major importance. Pond Creek Oklahoma is one of those communities with a census approximately 856 residents located in Grant County (Pond Creek, Oklahoma, 2015). This town has strong Christian roots and you get the feel of family, football, and love. There is a small variety of businesses and churches but the primary source of income for the community is agricultural. It isn’t uncommon to see tractors making their way down the highway during planting times and combines during harvest. One thing that the town and its citizens lack is access to health care. There are no medical facilities in the town such

Living on a small farm in Montrose, SD, I have seen the hardships that can go along with living in rural areas. With two parents who commute 30 minutes to work everyday, it was always an almost impossible task to get medical attention for any illness. Experiencing these hardships has helped me gain a great respect for rural clinics, and opened my eyes to the opportunities a rural clinic offers to future medical professionals, such as, myself.

I have been given many opportunities to help others and make an impact in Johnson City through organizations like the Family Medicine Interest Group at ETSU, serving as the coordinator for student involvement in free clinics. I have also been able to make an impact through medicine in Cleveland, TN by way of the Good Samaritan Clinic. This is a free clinic in downtown Cleveland that I have been volunteering at for the past seven years. I have also been directly involved in the start-up of the Just Care clinic in Mountain City, TN, a medical student ran free clinic in rural Appalachia. I was also been able to spend time in rural Guatemala with a medical team from my undergraduate university helping diagnose, treat, and care for patients whom receive little to no regular healthcare. From my own first hand experiences in both Guatemala and my time spent in the Just Care and Good Samaritan Clinics, I have seen the impact that an inadequate health care system can have on a population. I hope to use my medical and public health training in areas that do not have adequate access to health

My upbringing in a small rural Maine community has shaped who I have become and has defined what is important to me in many ways. Having the opportunity to enrich the lives of the those who live in my home state, as well as those who are passing through, is my purpose and priority. I am passionate about cultivating a practice which focuses on the various individual needs of my patients physically, mentally and emotionally.

This prestigious award will be given to an “unsung hero” who makes a notable contribution to health, healthcare, or a healthcare delivery system in a rural Mississippi community. This award is given in conjunction with National Rural Health Day, which is November 19, 2014. The

I was born in a small town called Sesori in the country of El Salvador. El Salvador lays in the global south and it is extremely crime infested. I came to the United States of America when I was a small child; however, growing up in El Salvador allowed me to witness many of my neighbors and family members suffer from insufficient access to medicine. Knowing this has made me become a hardworking individual who acknowledges the opportunities and blessing that the United States offers its people. I wish to one day become a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner and activist for woman's protection all around the world through an international humanitarian non-governmental organization called Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors without Borders). I want to help individuals worldwide where the need is greatest. The world is in need of help with the

I completed my internship at Fremantle Hospital and Health Service in WA, but chose to work predominantly in a rural hospital in Albany to service a disadvantaged and relatively inaccessible population. My medical career has focussed on general medicine in rural, remote and Indigenous populations as I hope to bridge health care gap in these patients. I am currently completing my resident medical officer training years at the new Fiona Stanley Hospital in Perth which opened in 2015. I have worked during the hospital’s inaugural year and am planning to continue working here for a few years to come while obtaining rural

When I was 4 years old, my mother decided to send me and my siblings to live with our grandparents in Honduras. I was born in Long Beach, CA, USA, however, my mother was struggling to give us a better life working as a housekeeper, and it wasn’t until I was 12 years old that we were reunited in New York. Nevertheless, my mother’s sacrifice to send my siblings and me to her country was indeed positive; hence, today am bilingual and have respect for diversity.

From the beginning of my decision to pursue medicine, I knew I wanted to practice primary care in rural Kansas. Growing up in the small town of Sterling, I was exposed to the role of a small town doctor along with its rewards and struggles. This understanding was further heightened during my experience in the Scholars in Rural Health program which immersed me in rural medicine in my hometown. All of these experiences confirmed my desire to pursue rural medicine and attend the Salina campus.

Leave to Honduras or remain in the U.S. ? Enrique had to choose between returning back to Honduras and being with his family or to stay with his mother who was the one to encourage him to go to the U.S in the first place. In this novel it is stated that enrique wants to stay in the U.S because if he returns he will not be able to buy his family gifts such as in the quotation “He buys Diana a gift a pair of pink sandals for 5.97$. In Honduras work is hard to find and even harder to maintain. Enrique gets his job in the U.S and he is able to maintain it so that means he is able to take care of his family and still help his mother buy food and pay bills. Secondly there is also a choice to leave to Honduras. In the quotation “ No one can change
