Sanjay Thummala
Founder & President, YoGlo
I am a high school junior who wants to become a doctor. I have volunteered for over 400 hours in various healthcare settings, which showed me how much of a difference even small acts of service can make. I’m CPR/AED and First Aid certified, MHFA certified. I am also CPR/AED certified instructor from American Red Cross and teach CPR for free to youth.
A big part of why I care so much about health equity comes from my time visiting India. Seeing kids and families without access to things I take for granted, like vaccines or annual check-ups, changed how I look at healthcare. It made me realize how important it is to spread healthcare awareness and help provide the basic needs people deserve around the world. I started YoGlo because I believe young people don’t have to wait until college or beyond to make a difference in health equity - we can start now. My dream is to keep building projects that make healthcare fairer for everyone.
