From Vision to Impact

---

For Heidi and Frankie, HAP project leads and professors in Humber Polytechnic’s Nursing program, inspiration for this research project was sparked by a healthcare service trip to Guatemala. During this trip, Heidi and Frankie led a group of 4th year nursing students in conducting health assessments for people in under-served communities.

As the COVID-19 pandemic put strain on the healthcare system and its resources, the team drew inspiration from their experience in Guatemala. They sought to apply a similar approach in Toronto, focusing on communities with limited healthcare access.
