The YSN Community Service Award is presented to a deserving student who has made outstanding contributions to the New Haven community through the delivery of health care or in volunteering their time in outreach efforts. This year’s award went to Jana Young who devoted much of her time to the Haven Free Clinic, serving as the executive director of the Student Leadership board. The award was presented at the YSN Commencement ceremony at the Shubert Theater in May.
A student-run primary care clinic partnered with Yale University, the Haven Free Clinic serves residents of the greater New Haven area who have no health insurance, where they receive medical care at no cost.
