Listen to Futuro Health Scholars’ Voices and learn about their inspiring and insightful journey and the impact of our education programs.
Being from Nigeria, Chigoziri is acutely aware of the impact that shortages of allied health workers has on the capacity of hospitals to address the needs of their communities. Chigoziri’s passion for equitable, accessible, and representative healthcare deepened after his wife had their first child and did not feel adequately cared for. When he discovered Futuro Health’s Patient Care Representative Program, Chigoziri felt empowered to commit himself to the profound need for patient advocacy. Chigoziri hopes to serve Indigenous communities with direct service healthcare as well as policy coordination. “In the program, I learned a whole lot about excellent communication skills, having empathetic skills, actually even working with software related to the healthcare industry. So, it was a very eye-opening experience. It was worth it.”
