Community Outreach

At Penn Medicine, our commitment to care extends into the heart of our city’s neighborhoods. In that spirit, we’ve created this calendar to connect the expertise and energy of Penn Medicine employees with local nonprofits hosting events that uplift and support our shared community.
Whether you're passionate about health or enjoy bringing people together, there’s an opportunity for you. We invite all Penn Medicine employees and Penn students to browse and choose an event that speaks to you.
If you sign up for a health-related event, our office will work with you to create a table presentation, complete with health education materials and giveaways. (No clinical background is necessary unless otherwise noted.) Volunteering is easy—and your participation makes a meaningful impact in advancing health equity in the communities we serve.
Click an event title to learn more and sign up. Our Community Relations team will follow up with next steps. Questions? Contact (215) 200-7632 or CAREs@pennmedicine.upenn.edu.
