“Health is based in community; we will achieve progress through solidarity.”

Jeesoo Suh is a rising junior at Mountainside High School, and will serve as a first-year Youth Advisory Council member for the SBHA. She is deeply committed to supporting the development of healthcare infrastructure that is made for, and by the communities they serve, and wants to work towards a future in which everyone has access to the resources they need to survive and thrive. Working with the Oregon School-Based Health Alliance has been crucially formative for these goals, and collaboration with this council to better uplift all our voices is a natural next step! In her own time, Jeesoo enjoys competing in Lincoln Douglas debate, sewing, writing, and hopes she can contribute this passion for creativity and analysis to the strengthening of school-based healthcare nationwide.
