Background

TEMOH, standing for teen education for Medicine, occupation, and Health, is a student-founded resource to help teens better understand medicine. It was created based on recent medical complications and passions. Madelynn Kearney, the founder, is an upcoming senior at Christoval High School. She has a passion for medicine and wants to become a neurosurgeon in the future. While you may believe that is why she created TEMOH, there is a more substantial reason. Maddie struggles with numerous health diagnoses that she never seems to get an answer for. Through immense amounts of doctors, radiologists, and specialists there always seems to be a new health problem and no cure for the previous. She created TEMOH to help not only her, but other teens in her situation understand their health. There are answers out there, and she has realized that she has had to find them herself. She hopes that TEMOH can provide guidance and relief for people in similar situations.
