End Date: Dec 20, 2025 12:00 AM
Volunteer Activity Message

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.

Saying "It remains my joy, privilege, and honor to call Dave Kovac my friend. Who woulda thunk that the simple request for a coat hanger to unlock a car back in 1974 would be the beginning of a wonderful friendship. I salute you, Dave, for what you do for this world. Thank you. With love always, Dan "
