Old Westbury Medical Outreach trip to the Dominican Republic 2016, Medication & Supply Fund


Fundraising Campaign Description
VAW at Old Westbury will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in the DR. One of the most exciting and important parts of volunteering with VAW is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2015, VAW treated over 30,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 50,000 in 2016. 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 portion of creating a successful mobile clinic to help the local communities with effective care.
