Jonathan Law’s Medical Alliance Club has been bringing the community closer by helping organizations and encouraging student interest in the medical field. 

The MAC has volunteered for organizations including the VA Medical Center in West Haven and has brightened up the days of many veterans. The club meets on Mondays after school with their Advisor, Mrs. Addario.

They recently held a Personal Care Drive for the VA Medical Center. They collected items including deodorant, body wash, soap, shampoo, and T-shirts.

Junior Officer Alivia Bogert is excited to deliver these items to the veterans. 

“My favorite part about MAC is delivering the personal care bags personally to the veterans,” Bogert said. “When we personally gave them to people their faces would light up.”

The Medical Alliance Club is very important to the members and they encourage others to join the club as well. 

“I think MAC is important because it brings the community closer together, and the way we did that was from a medical standpoint, like our upcoming trip to the VA,” Junior Officer Madi Black said. 

The club has been working hard, and they have some goals they would like to accomplish this year. 

“My goal is to hopefully have enough fundraising events where we can go on a trip to see Ellis Island,” senior Lexi Velez said. “We would love to see the history on how medical care was handled over the years when immigrants came through.”
