I love helping others, staying active, traveling, doing anything outside, and of course, Michigan State! I aspire to go into the medical field, hopefully as a doctor specializing in pediatrics and emergency response.

MSU Medical Outreach trip to Guatemala, March 2017



Holly's Message

I am super excited that I have chosen to go on this trip to Guatemala! I can't wait to work besides doctors and my peers in the mobile medical clinics. Not only will I gain valuable experiences related to the field I want to go into, but I also will be able to do so while helping others.

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the MSU chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach trip to Guatemala this upcoming Spring! Volunteers will work in mobile medical clinics, where they will have the opportunity to intake patients, conduct public health surveys, take vitals, shadow local physicians, work in the pharmacy, teach education classes, and much more! If you’re interested in joining, contact us for more information!

VAW at MSU will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in Guatemala.

One of the most exciting and important parts of volunteering with VAW is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2016, VAW treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2017. One of the things that make our mobile clinics unique is that we not only triage and diagnose patients, but also provide them with the basic medications needed. Fundraising for medications is a huge part of creating a successful mobile clinic to help the local communities with effective care.

**Note: airfare goal will be updated once flights are purchased, tentatively the week of Dec. 5
