The Health Bridges Pods are core components of the program that have their own goals which allows us to support the local community in a variety of ways.

Hospital Task and Language Justice



​Students in the Hospital Task pod volunteer to provide non-medical translational services and become certified to sign patients who’s first language is not English temporary health insurance (HPE), and other resources. Our goal is to bridge the language and knowledge gap by providing accessible resources in a multitude of languages. We partner with local hospitals like Pomona Valley Medical Center to provide these services and resources.

​Outreach

Our educational outreach pod focuses on providing mental health and well-being resources to the younger communities in LA county. Many of them identify as first-generation, low-income, and are entering or current high school students. Currently we are in collaboration with programs such as PAYs and Uncommon Good.
