Students Cook with the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House

On April 4, 2008, Our goal of establishing a "Community Service" partnership through the Penn Pre-Health Post Baccalaureate Program was brought to fruition due to the efforts of Paul Millhouse, UPPB '08, who organized the first  formalized cook-in with the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House.

Paul and 15 Pre-Health Post Baccalaureate students lent their services to provide a completely prepared nutritious meal for the families staying at PRMH who have spent a long day at the hospital caring for their critically ill children. View Photos>
