BRIGHTENING OUR SPACE

We are thrilled to introduce a beautiful new mural in our hallway, created by Amy, a first-year medical student at UC San Diego! Amy approached us with a passion for giving back to the community through her artistic talents, and the result is a stunning piece of art that now adorns our walls.

This collaborative effort has resulted in a vibrant and uplifting piece that celebrates our community and the positive impact we strive to make every day.
