Passionate About:

There are over 400 million people in the world that lack access to basic health care. Having seen this first hand in Panama, I realized that I wanted to make a difference. Although I may not be able to help all 400 million, I set out each day to help at least one. As a future Registered Nurse, I want to provide the best care to all of my patients. By immersing myself in other cultures I will be able to better understand how location, income, and culture ultimately impact individuals, not only physically, but also emotionally and spiritually. I hope to carry these experiences with me, so that I can one day work as a nurse in a global health organization to help provide sustainable health solutions to communities across the world.

Volunteer Activity Message

Global Brigades offers 7-9 day Medical Brigades throughout the year in Honduras, Panama and Nicaragua. 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.
