Project HEALTH  (Helping to Empower, Advocate, and Lead Through Health)
Works to break the link between poverty and poor health by mobilizing college students to provide sustained public health interventions in partnership with urban medical centers, universities, and community organizations.
Each Project HEALTH program addresses the issue of double jeopardy, a formidable combination of poverty and poor health faced by low-income children. In effect, poor children face two sets of obstacles: first, they are more frequently exposed to risks such as medical illness, family stress, insufficient social support, and parental depression; and second when these risks are realized, they face more serious consequences to their health than counterparts of higher economic status. Recognizing the disconnect between available resources and the families who need them, Project HEALTH responds with our clinic-based help desks, which use the doctor's office as a point of intervention to connect families with critical resources, such as food, housing, and childcare.

Public Health Student Forum
Public Health Student Forum (PHSF) is a collection of dedicated individuals who care deeply about providing aid to the underprivileged in Baltimore. PHSF strives to promote the advocacy of statewide public health issues and policies in its communities, as well as on the Johns Hopkins University campus. By mobilizing Baltimore city residents and the Johns Hopkins student body, PHSF ultimately seeks to lobby the Maryland legislature to pass policies that focus on providing aid to the underprivileged throughout Maryland, many of whom are concentrated in Baltimore.
PHSF's activities include community service, sponsored public health speakers, fundraising, and hosting public health awareness events. Because of its involvement with Baltimore city, PHSF is an asset to non-profit organizations throughout Baltimore that are in dire need of funding to meet their goals of improving the lives of the city's citizens.
