Passionate About:

Being part of this organization has really allowed me to take part in positive efforts to help those whom are truly in need. That is exactly what I believe I am here on this earth to do, and I am extremely excited to go on my third trip with Global Brigades! I can't wait to learn from not only the professionals we will be working along with, but also the communities we will be assisting in our trip. By supporting me on this trip you will not only be helping a friend reach a goal, you will be supporting all the families and communities in need of YOUR help. Thank you :)

About Us

University of Texas San Antonio 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.
