Dr. Michael Tetteh Mensah’s life has been driven by a deep desire to help others. Becoming a physician was not just a goal but his life’s mission, shaped by overcoming challenges that strengthened his passion for medicine. In the early 1990s, he migrated to the U.S., working labor-intensive jobs while balancing family life with his dream. After earning a Biochemistry degree and realizing his heart was in medicine, he pursued a Master’s in Public Health from Johns Hopkins. Now, as an Internist, he approaches patient care with empathy, inspired by Maya Angelou's belief that people never forget how you made them feel.

Dr. Mensah’s passion for helping the less fortunate runs deep. He believes that every individual deserves the opportunity to thrive, and this conviction drives his philanthropic efforts. Children, in particular, hold a special place in his heart, as they embody hope and the promise of a better future. Through his charitable work, he is committed to creating opportunities for children and marginalized communities to rise above their circumstances. For Dr. Mensah, philanthropy goes beyond material aid—it is about restoring dignity, offering hope, and recognizing the humanity in every individual. Whether mentoring youth, volunteering, or partnering with organizations, he is dedicated to inspiring others to take action. Together, he believes, lasting change for those in need can be achieved.
