WELCOME STATEMENT:
We, as chairs of the Family Medicine Club here at LECOM-Seton Hill, would first like to welcome you to our beautiful campus located here in Greensburg, PA. Though this area may seem rural to some, the region has a lot to boast about, but what is more important than the location, is the people who are within it. We here at LECOM are a family and we hope to continue our tight-knit traditions with each incoming class. We all have the same end goal, to become physicians, so let us work together to make our lives easier in a situation that is far from easy.
