Kelly Pineda

Passionate About:

Working to help provide underserved communities with the necessary resources to improve their health. Some of the ways that I am actively involved in doing so is through:
-Volunteering locally with Santa Barbara Street Medicine-Doctors Without Walls, a local non-profit humanitarian aid group that provides free medical care to the most vulnerable in Santa Barbara, our homeless population.
- Translating for Spanish speaking patients at local county clinics in Santa Barbara.
- Global Medical Brigades allows me to bring this passion of working with the underserved abroad where students and clinicians travel to those in the most need, and medical care is provided on site free of charge.

Volunteer Activity Message

Global Medical and Dental Brigades in Ghana work alongside each other on a 10-day long brigade in under-resourced communities around the central region of Ghana. Each medical and dental brigade incorporates a public health portion at the end of the 4 clinical days. The 10-day medical and public health brigade provides volunteers with the opportunity to make a tangible impact on communities while gaining hands-on experience in the field of international medicine. Prior to travel, volunteers collect medicines, recruit health professionals and fundraise. Once in Ghana, the team will visit one partner community to administer a 3-4 day-long clinic and conduct health workshops. During clinical days, community members are able to consult doctors and dentists, fill any necessary prescriptions, receive necessary dental care, and sit-in on health education lectures. At the end of the medical portion, volunteers then have a chance to build public health projects to address some of the environmental health issues. Public Health construction includes latrines, eco-stoves, and water filtration devices.
