Passionate About:

I'm a student at CMU and I'm passionate about the medical field. I work as an EMT at Mobile Medical Response and am majoring in Biomedical Sciences and Neuroscience. I'm passionate about traveling, I love to help people (especially children) and want to make a difference. During this trip, a group of 45 CMU students including myself, set up a medical clinic for an under served community in Honduras. We will be working hand-in-hand with doctors, dentists, and community members. I am fundraising to help pay for my travel expenses including the flight, passport, vaccines, and lodging. Our group also pays for the medical supplies we bring, which includes vitamins, antibiotics, toothbrushes and other personal hygiene supplies. Any help is greatly appreciated!

About Us

Central Michigan 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.
