SPOTLIGHT SATURDAY!!!
This week’s volunteer spotlight is Will Akin!!!

“Will is a first-year medical student who has consistently shown up for our Street Medicine Clinics with dedication and enthusiasm. He arrives early to help load the car, assists with setting up and breaking down the clinic, and ensures everything is put away at the end of the day. Beyond his reliability, Will is approachable and kind, and our patients truly enjoy seeing a familiar, welcoming face in him. He embodies what it means to go the extra mile, demonstrating a genuine interest in both patient care and service!”— Megah Ghanta (Street Medicine Care Coordination Officer)

We have been absolutely blown away by the generosity of our friends and community who helped us provide gifts for our patients.

For our first ever toy drive, we received 45 gifts from our Amazon wish list and $1300 on Venmo, which helped bring Christmas gifts to 28 of our patients’ children.

It’s your love, generosity, and kind-heartedness that made this possible. We are speechless and so grateful. Thank you from the 2025/2026 EAB officers, and we wish you a very merry Christmas!

As the 2025 EAB officers close out the year, we want to recognize our last group of officers! Our clinic management team works behind the scenes to make sure we can offer high quality care for all of our patients. Thank you for all that you do!

And we can’t wait to welcome the 2026 cohort, who are already in training and off to an incredible start!

This year at EAB, we’re working to support families who could use a little extra help this holiday season.

Our Toy Drive is now live!! We will be accepting donations through Venmo or direct gift purchases through our Amazon Wishlist. You can find the links in our bio!

If you’re able, please consider contributing. Even a small gift makes a big impact!
And yes… today’s Cyber Monday deals are perfect timing! 🎄💛

We are so thankful to for their partnership and generous donation of bus passes.
Now we can provide our patients with reliable transportation to our clinic and beyond - this initiative helps our patients access resources throughout the Birmingham community to improve all aspects of their health!
In just one month, we’ve already provided 40 bus passes, and we can’t wait to distribute many more!

A HUGE thank you to all of the Heart & Sole 5K sponsors and participants! We raised $13,000 to support EAB, which helps provide medicine, supplies, and thorough care for all of our patients. Thank you for your support!!

We had an amazing time at our 10th Annual Heart & Sole 5K (and first in-person in 5 years!) ! 🏃‍♀️☀️ It was a beautiful morning in downtown Birmingham celebrating community, health, and EAB. Huge congrats to our 5K and costume contest winners, and thank you so much to everyone who came and supported!! We can’t wait to see everyone again next year! ❤️👟
