Makenzie Ferenchak

Toledo, Ohio

Passionate About:

My name is Makenzie (Kenzie for short), I'm a thrid year senior at the University of Toledo majoring in nursing. On the rare occasion you find me outside the library you can find me involved or volunteering in CSA, working out with friends from CHAARG, or working as a nursing assistent at our University hospital UTMC. This January I plan on attending my first medical mission trip to Honduras. I've always been passionate about helping others, espicially those in need, and am so excited to go on a trip that allows me to do that.

University of Toledo Medical Brigade January 2019 Honduras

End Date: Jan 08, 2019 12:00 AM

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.
