Deirdre Hand Headshot

My experience in community engagement and education with the immigrant and refugee populations has highlighted the crucial role of whole health in these communities. I align with the Whole Health Consortium's mission at Virginia Tech by focusing on equitable health and well-being. This involves addressing the specific health challenges faced by immigrants and refugees through transdisciplinary approaches to enhance holistic health outcomes.
