Community Engagement

As a Horseshoe Farm Fellow, participants will make positive impacts in the community by working with patients and physicians in a "health partners" program, working with children through in-school and after school programs, and working with seniors and other vulnerable adults in community center programs and housing programs. Project Horseshoe Farm is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization with sites in Greensboro and Marion, Alabama and Pomona, California. PHF offers service and support programs to improve the health and quality of life of adults and children in our partner communities.
