Inside a red brick building on Tacoma’s Hilltop, the Neighborhood Clinic opens its doors twice a week, offering free medical care to those in need. It’s here that Cecilia Turetzky ’26 turned a community need into action — launching a mobile blood pressure clinic and earning recognition from Washington’s governor.
Last fall, Turetzky, a double major in molecular and cellular biology and neuro-bioethics, launched a mobile blood pressure clinic to provide hypertension screenings and education across Tacoma. This accomplishment led to her receiving the Student Civic Leadership Award from the Washington Campus Coalition for the Public Good in March.
Turetzky’s work is rooted in her years of volunteering at the Neighborhood Clinic, where she’s been involved since her first year at the university. With a lean staff of three and a rotating team of medical volunteers, the clinic serves individuals without insurance or those who face significant barriers to accessing medical care.

International Inspiration

Recent graduate Wyatt Logan ’25 has released a four-song EP, Voluptas. Logan, who graduated with a major in music and a minor in Greek, Latin, and Mediterranean studies, was inspired to write the album after two study abroad experiences at Puget Sound: one in Greece the summer before his sophomore year and the other a faculty-led trip to Rome during his senior year.
