Northern Medical Program Municipal Advocacy

Committee Chairs: Sydney Overland, Jayden Boxeur, Emma Arksey, Alisha Thapar

The NMP MAC is seeking in the 2023/2024 year to provide support to our downtown community, of which residents are uniquely vulnerable and often unhoused. Our primary goal is to hold a series of luncheons for the downtown community that offer cultural connection, a warm meal, seasonal clothing, harm reduction, and wound care services during the harshest winter months. As an additional goal, we seek to offer Narcan training and wound care education to students of healthcare profession programs at our host site – UNBC. We hope our event, melding advocacy and awareness of healthy disparity, in medical school will be meaningful for our members.
