  • Since starting medical school, he has deepened that commitment and hopes to be a physician–community partner who improves outcomes for unhoused patients through excellent surgical care and thoughtful follow‑up.


  • At HMS, John leads a foot clinic at Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program through the Crimson Care Collaborative, guiding fellow students in foot washing and basic foot exams for clients.


  • He also works in the Trauma Research Lab at Massachusetts General Hospital, publishing on readmissions among traumatically injured patients experiencing homelessness.
