Focus: Reducing healthcare disparities for patients with behavioral health issues and promoting value-based healthcare.

As an intern at NYC Health + Hospitals, I analyze resource utilization, referral and health records to address discrimination for patients with behavioral health issues. This work promotes healthcare equity and social justice by improving access to post-acute care for vulnerable populations.

This project is crucial as it addresses systemic healthcare disparities affecting vulnerable populations -- how data analysis and financial incentives can drive equitable care. It's shown me the power of policy changes in healthcare and deepened my commitment to social justice in medical systems.
