"That [HCC] internship experience really helped to crystalize my interest in working to solve big problems within healthcare and public health nationally."
Nicole Cooper, Chief External Affairs and Transformation Officer, United Way NCA
"HCC saw something in me that I didn't see in myself. They took a shy graduate of the University of Michigan and turned me into a confident professional...I was placed at Kaiser Permanente Richmond Medical Center and I was in the room with decision makers. I led projects and I caught a glimpse of what I would be doing as a public health professional".
Denise Fair Razo, FACHE, Chief Operating Officer Detroit Health Department · City of DetroitFrequently Asked Questions
