“People who have done so much and given to their community for so long, why are they lonely at the end of their lives?”
It’s a question that Harsh Moolani, currently a third-year
M.D./M.P.H. student, grappled with when volunteering at local hospices. The care industry didn't seem to have any long-term solutions for patients, so, as a junior in college, he developed one himself.

how he founded a nonprofit that tackles some of the biggest challenges for adult populations like loneliness, cognitive decay and lack of purpose — all while pursuing his medical degree.
