Jordan was inspired to start this organization after coming home from his first semester of college. His mother, who had been health-conscious her whole life, was told she had prediabetes. Many of Jordan's family members already had Type 2 diabetes, including his grandmother and great-uncle, seeing how diabetes and other related conditions had affected his family. Over spring break, when Jordan's grandparents survived a fatal car crash, his grandmother's high blood pressure and diabetes complicated her emergency care, causing delays in treatments.  

"I hoped to bring my passion for student-led change and policy to a health issue millions of individuals and my own family were facing: diseases that take years to develop but have lasting effects on one's quality of life. I also wanted to build a community of other students passionate about the cause." FlipTheScript was born with a mission of promoting holistic, compassionate health that empowered people to flip their own scripts.
