The goal of the PSFP is to assist students in providing health and human services to underserved populations with a high focus on civic engagement. I addressed the need for creative learning experiences through theatre arts for patients and families at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. Through my program, I provided for the emotional, social and familial needs of these individuals. Over the course of a year, I was privileged to serve over 500 patients, siblings and families over 210 hours with an additional 296 administrative hours devoted to the creation and implementation of this project. 85% of patients and 96% of guardians felt that this program helped improve mood and reduced patients’ need to activate their self-administered pain pumps. Committing to this fellowship as a full-time student was possible because Point Park University fosters a community of mutual respect, diversity, and innovation. My professors and my University gave me the support I needed to pursue academic excellence while cultivating community
