Town of Brookhaven Councilmember Kornreich honors Scholars for Medicine Society at SUNY Stony Brook 

At the June 6 Brookhaven Town Board Meeting, Councilmember Jonathan Kornreich presented two Stony Brook University students, Aman Mistry and Siddhant Desai with a proclamation recognizing Scholars for Medicine Society.

The organization provides an environment to nurture leadership and problem-solving abilities of the Stony Brook community’s future physicians. They do it by hosting Stony Brook University Healthcare Innovation Challenge and encouraging student innovation in a multidisciplinary, collaborative environment supported by faculty mentorship. They also promote student-run community health initiatives that translate problem-solving skills to real-world impact in the greater community.

In addition, they recruit a diverse array of sponsors and event support, including Stony Brook University, The Contribution Project, the Protect Our Planet (POP) Movement, Duck Donuts in Selden, Councilmember Jonathan Kornreich, and David L. Calone. The Scholars for Medicine Society at Stony Brook University has facilitated connection in the Stony Brook community through campus-wide events like the Healthcare Innovation Challenge.
