Chapter President
I was really drawn to the Blueprints mission and the tangible action it took towards achieving it. I like how the work Blueprints does introduces you to many aspects of the healthcare system including operations/supply chain, sustainability, global health and equity in access to supplies.
Fayiz Faruk
Vice President
I've been a part of Blueprints since my freshman year and I love that Blueprints gives me the unique opportunity to get directly involved in making a difference in underserved communities all around the world, and I hope to help B4P at Rice expand its operations to even more hospitals and distribute even more health supplies to these communities in the future
Christopher Bi
Treasurer
I got involved with Blueprints because healthcare inequality is an issue I care a lot about. As a volunteer in high school in an underserved community, I personally witnessed the inequality in healthcare access on a smaller scale, and the severity of the problem became quickly apparent. Blueprints offers a logical and elegant solution: we can allocate areas of excess need to those, and this clear and important mission is what drove me.
