​The Care Companion Program at the MEDIC Foundation is a transformative initiative, designed to bridge the gap between university students and patients diagnosed with chronic conditions. Built on the understanding of the deep significance of meaningful human connection and companionship, this program seeks to establish compassionate partnerships that enhance the quality of life for patients, while simultaneously facilitating innovation in the biomedical field.

ADVOCACY

We believe that awareness about chronic conditions is equally as important as researching for them. Each month our team curates and publishes newsletters comprising information about chronic conditions. We interview students, professors and patients to generate a unique perspective towards each topic with the goal of generating interest and advocacy around chronic diseases.
