MEDLIFE at UTK

The mission of MEDLIFE at UTK is to help families achieve greater freedom from the constraints of poverty, empowering them to live healthier lives. We seek to achieve this goal through partnering with motivated individuals locally and abroad to improve impoverished communities' access to Medicine, Education and community Development. Along with affiliate chapters, MEDLIFE at UTK raises money to help low-income families around the world achieve these goals, commits to learning about global healthcare, and participates in service.

MEDLIFE’s intended impact on The University of Tennessee’s campus is to help make students and the surrounding Knoxville community aware of existing disparities in health-care and to offer students opportunities to become involved in fundraising and service efforts aimed at resolving those disparities.
