Bailey Perczak
We are excited to announce that the DriveSafe Scholarship Competition winner for 2023 is
Bailey Perczak!
Bailey is a first-year medical student at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. She graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 2022 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Neuroscience and Behavior and a minor in Patient Advocacy. Originally from Colorado, she grew up in the Broomfield area and attended Peak to Peak Charter School along with her younger siblings. When home from her schooling, she still thoroughly enjoys taking fun drives through the mountains and foothills of Colorado with her siblings and hometown friends. Her newest road-trip sidekick is her husky puppy, Luna, who is also a big fan of the scenic mountain drives!
Bailey is incredibly excited to continue along her medical school journey for the next four years. Throughout her undergraduate career, she had the opportunity to learn all about patient advocacy and the various socioeconomic factors that can affect patients’ health. One of her biggest interests for her medical school career lies in studying healthcare inequities and finding ways to help kids to have better access to the care and resources that they need to live healthy and happy lives!
Bailey explains that due to the strenuous nature of medical schooling, the vast majority of students are unable to work during their four years of education. DriveSafe’s scholarship will help towards costs of tuition, and will allow her a little more breathing room throughout this first year. In her extra time, she hopes to partake in Case Western’s Student Run Health Clinic, which provides free healthcare to individuals in the greater Cleveland community, and to complete research regarding health inequalities.
