| Summary: | Physician and youth advocate Dr. Rameck Hunt was born on May 1, 1973 in Orange, New Jersey. After moving in with his uncle at age fourteen, Hunt attended University High where he met Sampson Davis and George Jenkins. After a brief run-in with the law, the three friends decided to change their lives and were accepted to Seton Hall University in a program for minorities interested in medicine. The three friends supported each other while studying together, even though attending different medical schools. In 1999, the three graduated with Hunt going on to practice internal medicine. Hunt became medical director at St. Peter's Hospital's How Lane Adult Family Health Center. The three friends toured the country speaking on how they overcame their own odds. They established the Three Doctors Foundation to provide scholarships. In 2000, they received an Essence Award for community service. They wrote an award-winning book, The Pact, detailing their experiences.
