Passionate About:

I am passionate about volunteer efforts, the power of medicine, and empowering individuals and communities through care, support, and education.My first brigade in March 2017 was one of the most incredible things I have ever experienced. I cannot wait to go again in 2018! I aspire to become a pharmacist and give back to the community by continuing to go on brigades as a health care professional.

About Us

Cal Poly Pomona 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.
