#4: Alex Bourcier | Providing Healthcare to Those in Need People of LinkedIn
-
- Negócios
Born and attending high school in France, Alex Bourcier was struggling to find motivation in the subjects he was learning. So Alex decided to come to the United States for a year as an exchange student. One thing that immediately shocked him after arriving, was just how difficult and expensive it was to receive healthcare here compared to France. Alex saw this as an issue, and one he was going to try and solve!
Alex returned to the US for college at Penn State, where with his friend Kyle, started a student chapter of Remote Area Medical (RAM), an organization providing free clinics for those who cannot afford healthcare. Since their inception just two years ago, RAM@PSU has seen incredible success. With a group of more than 100 active members, they have gone on multiple volunteer trips providing support to clinics in places of need, traveling as far as West Virginia. They are now partnering with providers in Susquehanna County to host a clinic in PA! Alex’s hard work was rewarded with not only a successful club, but more importantly the knowledge of how to repeat this success.
His three key takeaways for leadership were:
Have a great team
Have a clear vision
Leaving your ego at the door (Difficult but Important!)
Would you agree?
