    "I am really impressed by [HCC] programming and wish I had known of HCC when I was an undergraduate. Health care careers need more diversity and we need more bright ideas from those who have seen firsthand the other side of health equity - to be able to empower those who have been there themselves is to create a wonderful future for health care.: Kaiser Permanente Regional Health Education & Culturally Responsive Care"
