Mohammed Alhamwi

Mohammed Alhamwi is a registered nurse who works at Eskenazi Health System. Born and raised in Syria, Mohammed and his family eventually were able to resettle in the United States in 2016 after first fleeing to Jordan to escape civil war in Syria. Although Mohammed earned a high school diploma in Syria, U.S. regulations required that he retake high school courses so he could earn a diploma from a U.S.-accredited education institution. He did so, and then went on to earn a medical assistant certification, working at a local hospital upon its receipt.

While working as a medical assistant, Mohammed was inspired to pursue a career in nursing, driving by his desire to make a positive impact on people’s lives. He graduated in September 2023 with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. He is passionate about providing compassionate care to the patients he serves.

Outside of his nursing career, Mohammed actively participates in community health initiatives, volunteering at local health clinics and contributing his expertise to public health education programs. He also actively volunteers with From Strangers to Neighbors, working as an interpreter and as a mentor, helping families navigate social systems he and his family had to figure out when they arrived in the U.S.
