Passionate About:

My name is Ashley Wagenhauser and I am a junior at the University of Toledo. I am a biology major with a pre-med concentration. My long term goal is to become a pediatrician. I have always wanted to go on a medical mission trip and I am so excited to have the chance to go on one to Honduras with Global Medical Brigades. I'm passionate about helping others and I'm very grateful I can help a community that doesn't have access to healthcare like we do.

About Us

University of Toledo 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.
