Fall 2023
For the third and final semester, my service installment was Employer based. Our hospital is
very influential within the Richmond Virginia community. VCU Health has many different
opportunities to go help the community or hospital through their own efforts. I had many friends
and coworkers run the Richmond marathon in November. For my service I was a part of our
VCU Health booth at the marathon. This was separate from the emergency medicine area; our
main goal was to provide snacks and cheer on the runners at mile 18. I love running but had
some minor health setbacks this year. I think my goal is to be on the other side of the street next
year. They call the Richmond marathon the friendliest marathon and I can see why. There are
endless people giving away food, water, aid and cheering the runners on every step of the way. It
is very encouraging and inviting for those of all skill levels.
