Jasmine Maldonado
"I am very interested in volunteering and doing my part in my community, and the mission of the IPHA Americorps Program aligned with my values and beliefs. I believe that this was the perfect opportunity to find out if I truly wanted to continue on the path of public health and it served as reaffirmation that I had chosen the correct field."
Jasmine is an Americorps Health Educator at the Erie Family Health Center in Evanston. She does the verification of pregnancy and offers assistance to prenatal patients so they can make appointments and receive prenatal care. She also assists with the cooking matters class, which helps pre-diabetic and diabetic patients learn how to eat healthy meals.
Jasmine is serving her 2nd term with IPHA AmeriCorps and will complete her service in August 2019.
