ABOUT
The Engineering and Health Community Outreach (EHCO) program began in 2016 as a spring break trip focused on volunteering with local Memphis companies to improve both healthcare and the Memphis community. Through collaboration with Serve901 and Amizade, EHCO members have the chance to volunteer and engage with both international and domestic communities. The ultimate goal of the EHCO is to give members opportunities to volunteer, learn about the determinants of health in different communities, and to travel domestically.
2023 TRIP
After two years off due to COVID, EHCO finally returned to Memphis for Spring Break this year. The volunteers worked with Neighborhood Christian Center, Room In the Inn, Christ Community Health, Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital, JA Biztown, MicroPort Orthopedics, and Memphis Athletic Ministries for volunteering and professional development events.

2020 trip
During the 2020 EHCO trip, the volunteers worked with Kirby Middle School, Dexter Elementary School, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Grizzlie’s Prep, V&E Greenline, and Church Health Wellness Center. They also attended professional development and networking opportunities with Choose901, and MicroPort Orthopedics.
“This trip has a real special way of bringing people together for the greater good for not only the community but for self growth and discovery, and I am so grateful to have been a part of it”
“Each and every one of the activities we did during the week sparked a conversation, changed a perspective, and/or drew us closer as a group. Of course, the most important thing was knowing that what we were doing was having an actual positive impact on the communities we were serving”
