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!

June 2012 Medical Brigade - Panama
  1. Affiliated Organization: Global Brigades USA
  2. Program: Medical Brigades
  3. Chapter: Medical Brigades at Brooklyn College
End Date: Jun 10, 2012 12:00 AM
Volunteer Activity Message

The Brooklyn College chapter of Global Medical Brigades will be traveling on our second medical brigade this June 2012! Last year\'s brigade to Honduras was a huge success and we are all really excited to travel back to Central America to bring much needed medical care. This year we will be providing care to communities in Panama!

Brooklyn College Medical Brigade volunteers will set up temporary clinics in pre-identified communities in Eastern Panama to provide health care where access is limited. Each community receives a brigade every 3-4 months. Students on the brigade are given the opportunity to shadow licensed health care professionals while learning about local Panamanian culture. A typical Medical/Dental Brigade clinic consists of six stations: Intake, Triage, Consultation, Dental, Charla (health education), and Pharmacy. Electronic patient records are collected during the brigade to ensure patient follow-up as well as to monitor overall community health trends. Between brigades, the in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and conduct community health worker training aimed at empowering local leaders to perpetuate a consistent level of health care. For every student who volunteers on a Global Medical Brigade, sixty patients can see a doctor who otherwise would not be able to.

We thank you for your incredible support in last year\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s medical mission! Let\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s make this year just as successful!
