Passion Project
Esohe is a part of the Terrapin Think Tank, where she works with three other students to develop policy solutions to issues in areas concerning health and urban planning in the PG County community. Their last project was a white paper they presented to the PG Health Department on the placement of community health workers in non-traditional settings. Their next project is a tax credit bill to incentivize physicians to open practices in low-income areas of Maryland.
