Chapman Service Project
John Acosta( M. D. Class of 2027) successfully launched his Chapman Regional Campus Project in partnership with Grace Medical community and the Orange County Fire Department. Acosta’ s project focuses on sourcing tools to support mental health and wellness, to create care packages filled with calming aides, stress relief, immune support, and journaling tools to encourage mental wellness and self-care. Acosta’ s aim was to encourage the first responders to take care of their mental health, which can sometimes be neglected in this population. Acosta delivered one hundred care packages to ten different fire stations.
Chapman Service Project care packages were delivered to the Pride of Parramore Fire Station 2 in Orlando.
