OUR WORK

SAGE is a non-profit, whose mission is to improve the health of under-served communities while enhancing the education of health professions students. Communities guide our projects and receive quality care that is respectful of their personal values, beliefs and way of life. With close faculty supervision, our students contribute their knowledge, skills, and compassion, and gain confidence and personal insight.
