Caroline Hensley wants everyone to have access to quality health care, whether or not they have insurance.
Hensley is a medical student at the University of Cincinnati. Before going to med school, she worked at a health center that catered to people without insurance, and she saw that patients came from far and wide — including other states — in order to receive care. This inspired her to start a free health clinic, which she called The Healing Center.
