I have witnessed the amazing transformation of my city into one that is rich in history and culture. The community boasts a large number of nonprofits; which is proof of the giving spirit of reaching back to help others in areas from education to homelessness.

Kalamazoo is what you make it! There are so many ways to get involved and be the change you want to see.

There are many local activist groups working with each other and being civically engaged in order to bring positive change to Kalamazoo. Anyone affiliated with WMed has an amazing opportunity to be a part of the community through working with these local groups, especially medical students, residents, and fellows who may only get to Kalamazoo home for a short period of time.

What I enjoy most about Kalamazoo is the community engagement and the city's artistic pulse.

This community has a rich tradition in collaboration across organizations to meet the needs of the community. As a developing medical professional you will find many opportunities outside of the medical facilities to contribute to the improvement of health and the quality of life.

Even though Kalamazoo may look small at first, the city really does have a lot to offer. The city has a diverse population and a diverse mix of activities to partake in.

We have the best farmer's markets!

I am a Kalamazoo native. Kalamazoo is a city that I've seen grow since I first lived here and I have had the opportunity to put back into it.
