Passionate About:

My name is Jasmine Garica, I am an undergraduate student at Arizona State University studying Biochemistry with the goal of going on to medical school to become a physician. In addition to my studies I volunteer at a hospice and respite center for children and at a low socioeconomic family dinner center providing tutoring and activities for children. What initially attracted me to GMB was the correlation between my volunteer efforts at Saint Vincent de Paul which has recently been intaking refugees from South America, especially Honduras, and GMBs mission destination. GMB emphasizes that healthcare should be “boundless”, meaning no person should be without access to healthcare due to any circumstance, and this ideal is something I hold very close to my heart. I believe my involvement with GMB will expand my awareness of other cultures and help me to have a more inclusive approach as a future medical provider.

Volunteer Activity Message

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