Natalia Alexandridi, M3, Faye Justicia-Linde, MD.

Medical student Natalia Alexandridi, left, and faculty member Faye E. Justicia-Linde, MD, often volunteer at the student-run Lighthouse Free Medical Clinic on the city of Buffalo’s East Side.

We’re deeply committed to our community, and we show that by contributing to the health and well-being of Western New Yorkers — particularly those with limited access to, or options for, medical care.
