About our Organization

Healthcats is a pre-health student organization that focuses on health promotion, volunteerism, and undergraduate collaboration in the Cincinnati community. We strive to create an environment where students are able to learn about different healthcare career paths and apply teamwork skills through a variety of health-related group volunteer events. Our general body meetings aim to share opportunities and information with our members that may advance their undergraduate careers, as well as foster relationships between pre-health students that they may utilize in their future professional endeavors.

How our organization engages UC students

Healthcats engages students at our college by creating a strong sense of community among pre-health students and providing meaningful opportunities for growth. Through health-related group volunteer events in the Cincinnati community, members gain hands-on experiences that allow them to apply what they are learning in class to real-world settings. General body meetings feature career exploration activities, guest speakers, and shared resources that help students learn about different healthcare paths and advance their undergraduate careers. Additionally, Healthcats fosters teamwork, leadership, and peer mentorship by encouraging collaboration on events and initiatives, allowing students to build professional skills and support one another. Together, these experiences keep students actively involved, connected, and inspired throughout their pre-health journey.
