Jared had the opportunity to work at the M.E.N.D. dental clinic for a couple days over Spring Break up in the San Fernando Valley. M.E.N.D. stands for Meet Each Need with Dignity and it is a clinic that Loma Linda has a huge connection with. Free dental care is provided to the community and the students offer their time, skills and service to people who would otherwise not receive any dental help. These clinics are what motivate Jared through school right now since his school schedule is very didactic these first two years- he loves the hands-on stuff, interfacing with the patients and assisting his upper classmen.
