Email one of our NAU Medical Brigade Club contacts! (President: ak2682@nau.edu) Our mission is to provide sustainable development to underserved communities throughout the world. Volunteers gather supplies, fundraise, and travel to Honduras to set up free medical clinics, implement public health infrastructure, and share important health and wellness information side-by-side with doctors and community members. In 2016, two socially-minded pre-med students approached their biology teacher with a mission: to travel to Central America with the Global Brigade to provide healthcare to indigenous communities. Since then, the first NAU Global Brigade traveled to Honduras in a unique Medical Brigade, bringing a group of pre-health students to remote areas of Honduras. Our students worked alongside local doctors who knew the local culture and the language, assisting and shadowing them as they administered needed dental and medical care in a holistic approach. Yearly trips since then to Central America by our NAU Medical Brigade have included various Flagstaff healthcare providers and adjunct faculty from Biology, Dental Hygiene, and Respiratory Therapy. Each year, student club leaders recruit new members and organize fundraising activities, raising money to pay for medicine, dental supplies, and hygiene packs that they bring to the site for distribution.
