Passionate About:

Ever since I was a child i was always passionate about helping people. My goal has always been to touch the world and change it even in some kind of small or large way. Recently I've found an incredible organization called Global Brigade. They offer free medical clinics to people in third world countries such as Honduras, Panama, and Ghana. They strive to not only help people but educate them and allow them to help themselves even once they have left. This organization is everything I've ever wanted to do and accomplish. January 3rd to the 9th we will travel to rural Honduras to create medical clinics for the wonderful people. Unfortunately these trips are not free considering all the medication and airfare needed. My goal is to raise $1,630. That specific amount would cover everything needed for this amazing trip to happen. Please donate to this cause so I can help someone who needs it.

About Us

University of Toledo is a chapter of Global Medical Brigades, an international movement of students and medical professionals working alongside local communities and staff to implement sustainable health systems. We work in remote, rural, and under resourced communities in Honduras, Panama, Nicaragua and Ghana who would otherwise have limited to no access to health care. Each community receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are provided access to healthcare and volunteers deliver public health workshops. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends. nnIn conjunction with our Medical Program, Global Brigades also supports communities with economic development, sanitation and clean water projects, and uniquely implements these programs in a holistic model to meet a community’s health and economic goals. Our model systematically builds community ownership and collaboratively executes programs with the end goal of sustainably evolving to a relationship of impact monitoring.

Upcoming Initiatives

University of Toledo Medical Brigade January 2027 Greece

 Global Brigades offers 7-9 day Medical Brigades throughout the year in Honduras, Panama, Ghana, Guatemala, Greece and Belize. During a Medical Brigade, volunteers have the opportunity to take vitals and patient history in triage, shadow licensed doctors in medical consultations, and assist in a pharmacy under the direction of licensed pharmacists. Each of our partner communities receives a brigade approximately twice a year. Between brigades, our in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and to conduct Community Health Worker (CHW) trainings to empower local leaders to sustain a consistent level of healthcare. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends.
