Help us bring preventive care, health education, and community support directly to the people who need it most.
HealthFront depends on volunteers from many backgrounds — clinical professionals, students, community members, organizers, technical helpers, and advisors. Whether you can help screen patients, coordinate events, support technology, guide planning, or simply lend a hand, there is a place for you in this mission.
Sohum Shah
HealthFront was founded with a simple belief: that everyone deserves access to preventive health care, regardless of their background or circumstances. With guidance from the physicians and community health advocates, our volunteers have dedicated their careers to bridging gaps in care and bringing life-saving screenings directly to the people who need the most.
Although this roadmap for establishing a non-profit organization has not been an easy one for me, I struggled through in every direction to come up with an idea for making a true community impact that helps people at their core. The idea needed to be put into fruition by coming up with a master plan that required flawless execution for organizing community events that required sponsors to agree and commit to the event. I had to reach a team of doctors and other clinicians to volunteer at my event. I also had to get local temples to agree. I had to learn about legal liability and waivers for the sponsors and volunteers. Team organization, coordination, and sequence flow for the event were very important. We had to conduct it in a way that the event starts with registration, followed by health screenings, and further leading into doctor consultations, dietitians, and physical therapists, followed by an end survey — giving each individual access to the apps I developed so they can log their clinical results and get health guidance from an AI results dashboard.
As Dr. Sudha Nallani once mentioned:
“Under Sohum’s leadership, HealthFront has grown from a vision into a movement in action by organizing medical camps, building community partnerships, and creating a network of volunteers committed to making health care accessible for all.”
