Andrew is a medical student at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine. While in undergrad, Andrew served as co-president for UChicago's chapter of UAID, spearheading the creation of a new chapter project. From forging a new community partnership, writing and distributing the CHNA, creating and implementing project events, collecting and analyzing data, and then sharing findings, UAID taught him many new skills. Most importantly, though, UAID helped Andrew get to know and build relationships with the South Side community that he still has the privilege of serving. Andrew is excited to continue giving back to this wonderful organization. In medical school, Andrew is involved in Chicago Street Medicine, his school's Curriculum Review Committee, teaching sex ed in local high schools, and the Internal Medicine Interest Group.

Hadil Alsaidi is a co-President and founding leader of the United Against Inequities in Disease (UAID) chapter at Hunter College. She’s a Human Biology major on the pre-Physician Associate track, with a minor in Public Health, and a strong drive for health equity and community-based research. Hadil cares deeply about Health Equity because she has seen how unequal access to healthcare, education, and resources can shape people’s health outcomes long before they ever enter a hospital setting.
Alongside her fellow co-President Armeet and the chapter’s core members, Hadil managed to build the organization from the ground up at Hunter College, creating a supportive and collaborative space for students to learn from one another and work toward meaningful change. As co-President, she leads initiatives such as the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA), focusing on nutrition and sexual health disparities that are often overlooked in underserved communities. Her leadership is grounded in clear communication, teamwork, and intentional community engagement, which addresses healthcare gaps and empowers students to take an active role in advancing health equity.
