Bio
Stephen Hicks, MPH
There are not many people like Aasit. He holds himself to a professional standard of integrity and detail unmatched by most of his colleagues. In fact, I am one of his former colleagues from Global Health Corps. We met as fellows and ended our fellowship year as friends. Wherever he goes, he builds a welcoming community of people from various ages, races, and language abilities. His work in Uganda is a testament to his commitment to social justice and health equity.
