Passionate About:

Serving the community is my passion. Serving teaches me to care for others above myself. I'm going to Honduras to lend a helping hand with fellow volunteers to the people in need of medical and dental care.

I have been experienced as a Registered Dental Assistant for 7 years and counting. I want to use my skills to encourage the people of Honduras to know and practice the importance of dental health and the skills needed to maintain healthy teeth and gums.

Global Medical/Dental Brigades will enrich my personal passion for using the skills I have learned to help people around the world less fortunate than myself.

I am grateful for this opportunity
Thank you in advance for your support.

Blessings,

Laura Mac

About Us

Cal Poly Pomona 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.

California State Polytechnic University of Pomona Medical Brigade May 2026 Ghana

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.
