Passionate About:

My name is Stephanie Soto and I am a Junior majoring in Biological Sciences. My future goal is to become a Physical Therapist. I am currently an intern at Banner University Medical Center in the Emergency Department. I joined the Global Medical Brigades because I wanted to immerse myself in an organization where I can be a guide to bettering the health of others to leave a lasting legacy within the community.

About Us

Arizona State University 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.
