Healing Beyond the Clinic: Medical Volunteerism, Healthcare Access, and Community-Based Care in America

Improving health outcomes begins long before someone enters a hospital. Communities thrive when healthcare professionals, volunteers, nonprofit organizations, and local leaders work together to ensure that quality care is accessible to all.

At Sewa Forum 2026, join an accomplished panel of healthcare and community leaders as they explore how collaboration, innovation, and volunteerism can improve healthcare access and build healthier, more resilient communities.
