Through work in the coalfields of Southwest Virginia thanks to an Academic Community Engagment (ACE) Grant, students meet with people who are dealing with multiple serious health issues and lack of specialty services in an area where there is great poverty. I hope students become more compassionate for people who have chronic illnesses and understand the struggles they face in order to try to acquire treatment and manage the recommended care. I also hope they will learn that patients have great wisdom in terms of trying to identify solutions.
