HealthyMe
Organization Facts
HealthyMe is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit health and wellness organization based in Jupiter, Florida, serving individuals and families with limited resources throughout Palm Beach County. It evolved from MyClinic, a free clinic established in 2014, and adopted the HealthyMe name in fall 2024 to reflect its broader health and social-care mission.
HealthyMe provides all of its services free of charge, helping clients navigate medical care, behavioral health, nutrition, dental services, and community resources.
Services include medical and ancillary care coordination, hospital discharge assistance, women’s health navigation, behavioral health counseling, nutrition and wellness programs, and urgent dental referrals.
The organization also addresses social determinants of health by connecting clients with food, housing, transportation, legal assistance, and other resources that influence long-term health and quality of life.

About the Organization
HealthyMe’s mission is to empower individuals and families with limited resources to improve their health and quality of life through information, access to clinical care, and connections to community services.
Trained care coordinators work individually with clients and families to understand their circumstances and develop personalized connections to appropriate health and social-care resources.
The organization provides behavioral health support, health education, care coordination, and navigation rather than limiting its work to treatment of immediate medical concerns.
Through this comprehensive model, HealthyMe helps clients overcome barriers such as inadequate transportation, food insecurity, housing instability, and difficulty navigating complex healthcare systems.
HealthyMe
Community Involvement
HealthyMe was originally developed through collaboration among the Palm Beach County Health Department, Jupiter Medical Center, El Sol-Jupiter’s Neighborhood Resource Center, and the Town of Jupiter, with guidance from the Florida Public Health Institute.
Jupiter Medical Center has been a significant community partner, historically providing services such as free laboratory testing, imaging, and administrative support to help expand access to healthcare.
HealthyMe’s Visiting Organization Program brings complementary health and social-service organizations directly to its facility, making additional community resources more accessible to clients.
Staff, volunteers, healthcare professionals, community organizations, and collaborative partners work together to connect individuals with resources that address both healthcare needs and the broader circumstances affecting their well-being.

Funding Source
HealthyMe relies on individual donors, foundations, sponsors, grants, and other philanthropic support to sustain its free health and wellness services.
Early development was supported by organizations including Allegany Franciscan Ministries, Palm Health Foundation, and Quantum Foundation, while community philanthropy later helped the organization become debt-free in 2024.
Documented grant support has also come from organizations including the Promise Fund of Florida, Florida Association of Free and Charitable Clinics, and Admirals Cove Foundation.
These contributions support services such as personalized care navigation, social-care connections, mental health assistance, health education, and programs designed to make health and wellness resources accessible to people in need.
My AI Proposal
Throughout the AI & Medical Innovation Internship, I worked closely with HealthyMe to understand its operating model, goals, current patient intake system, and growth opportunities. Alongside Dr. Daniel Spar and Dr. Omar Aljawfi, I learned the fundamentals of artificial intelligence and explored how emerging AI technologies can be strategically applied to address real-world medical operational challenges, including patient intake, community awareness campaigns, patient-interface systems, and more.
Throughout the week, my team approached HealthyMe as business consultants, analyzing its existing processes, identifying operational vulnerabilities, and evaluating areas where artificial intelligence could create meaningful value. We considered the organization’s specific needs and researched potential AI applications that could improve efficiency, strengthen operations, support patients, and contribute to long-term growth.
Using our research and analysis, my team developed a comprehensive AI business proposal tailored specifically to HealthyMe. Our recommendations outlined practical strategies for integrating artificial intelligence into the organization while considering implementation, potential risks, and ethical and legal frameworks. The final proposal, shown alongside this description, represents the culmination of our week-long consulting process and demonstrates how AI can be applied strategically to solve real medical challenges.
My AI Proposal Presentation
During the AI & Medical Innovation Internship, I worked with Dr. Daniel Spar and Dr. Omar Aljawfi to learn about the basics of artificial intelligence and the potential medical applications it possesses.
Throughout the week, I worked with a clinic named HealthyMe to develop AI solutions to support their operations and healthcare offerings. I worked with my team to analyze the opportunities for growth as well as their current vulnerabilities.
At the end of the week, I presented my AI proposal to a panel of judges and the LI Grant Committee, and I received grant money to implement the solution to support the clinic, their healthcare services, and the broader health of their community.
Internship Highlights
Throughout my internship, I participated in multiple hands-on labs that allowed me to utilize technology and artificial intelligence to create solutions for optimization in various healthcare settings.
These labs were created to replicate real-world scenarios and enabled me to develop applicable solutions to complex problems. This immersive experience allowed me to develop proficiencies in programming languages, implementing CNNs for image classification in the context of diagnostics, and the use of predictive analytics in healthcare.
Each session required attention to detail and the utilization of my skills in collaboration, critical thinking, and adaptability to learn in a fast-paced setting. This was an invaluable experience that allowed me to translate theoretical knowledge into tangible solutions.
Virtual and augmented reality have transformed healthcare delivery, allowing medical professionals and students to learn and perform select diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in a remote setting.
During this internship, I had the opportunity to learn about the uses of virtual reality in medicine. I also participated in hands-on activities that allowed me to learn about the applications of virtual reality in surgery and radiation oncology planning.
Many people live in areas where access to quality care of specialty services is limited. Virtual reality and technology have been instrumental in bridging this gap. These activities helped broaden our understanding of this complex issue, and this new knowledge will be applied to the solutions we develop for our clinical partners.
During my internship, I gained valuable insight into the world of robotics from Dr. Laura Stegner, a distinguished professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at The George Washington University. She introduced the concepts behind a wide range of technology that facilitates the delivery of more precise, efficient, and minimally invasive patient care.
Dr. Stegner, alongside lectures from MedStar faculty, including Dr. Omar Aljawfi, covered the growing potential of medical innovation and the increasing demand due to the aging patient population. Current applications include surgical robotics, rehabilitation and exoskeleton technology, automation in laboratory settings, and remote care robotics.
Additionally, we researched the logistical and regulatory challenges associated with implementing medical technology and innovation into day-to-day practice. These challenges include the high cost associated with the machinery and the specialized training required for operation.
Understanding the logistical, financial, and medical implications of this technology enabled me to strengthen my critical thinking and problem-solving skills, allowing us to apply this knowledge to our clinical partnership.
During my internship, I had the opportunity to apply my training in AI consulting by working directly with clinics around the United States. Meeting with HealthyMe allowed me to gain a clear understanding of their goals, challenges, and long-term vision, giving me the chance to explore how artificial intelligence could provide meaningful solutions.
Working alongside their leadership, I developed tailored recommendations on how AI tools could streamline operations, improve patient relations, and improve healthcare offerings. This included analyzing areas where automation could reduce inefficiencies, identifying opportunities for predictive analytics, and suggesting ways to incorporate AI-driven patient strategies.
Through this hands-on consulting experience, I not only strengthened my ability to assess patient and clinic needs and translate them into actionable strategies but also learned the importance of aligning AI solutions with each clinic’s unique context. By applying these skills, I was able to deliver practical recommendations that could support HealthyMe in reaching its goals and preparing for long-term success in an increasingly data-driven economy.
