Passionate About:

I am on a mission with the Brooklyn College Medical/Public Health Brigade organization to build health clinics at medically underserved villages in Honduras as well as latrines, stoves, and more in these villages. We are fundraising for the medications and medical supplies needed for the health clinic. We would really appreciate it if you could donate and help our cause. Your donations are appreciated! Please check out the highlighted initiative below (as this will be my 4th initiative) My goal appears above the 'donate' icon down below. Thank you!

Volunteer Activity Message

Volunteers on Medical and Dental Brigades work closely together with licensed medical and dental professionals to provide quality health initiatives to a community that otherwise has limited access to health care. Volunteers spend three days in a community in order to optimize the amount of time patients are able to spend with the physicians and dentists. Each patient receives a physician consultation, public health talk, and prescribed medicines as well as have access to PAP smears, prostate exams and restorative dental care as necessary. Children, in addition, receive teeth cleaning, a fluoride treatment, and vitamins necessary for proper growth and development. Volunteers have the opportunity to take patient vitals, obtain patient history and current symptoms, shadow and assist licensed physicians and dentists, participate in preventative education, and fill prescriptions under a licensed pharmacist. Volunteers will become familiar with the prevalent health issues in their community and learn about how to prevent and treat those illnesses. These brigades provide each volunteer with the opportunity to make a tangible impact on a specific community while gaining real life experience in the field of international medicine and dentistry.
