Foothill College Medical Brigade August 2017 Panama



Angela's Message

Dear Family and Friends,
This summer I will be joining Foothill’s Medical, Dental, and Public Health Brigade in Panama to provide care for thousands of people in need! A small donation to this can make a big impact.
In fact, your donation will go right into providing lifesaving medications, vital medical attention and dental procedures, prescription eye wear, as well as supplies to improve the homes and lives of a community in need!
Many of these individuals are living with unimaginable pain, infections, and untreated diseases, and these brigades offer them their only source of relief. For 4 days I will personally be working with a team of dental hygiene students to provide therapeutic deep cleanings, as well as education on oral hygiene. For the last 3 days we will help to improve the health of a community by placing proper sanitary sewage systems, paving the dirt floors of homes with cement, and building efficient, well-ventilated wood burning stoves. All of these seemingly small improvements make a huge difference in the lives and overall health of these families and their communities.
If you can, please share this post or donate here https://www.empowered.org/Angela-Wan and be sure to check “on behalf of Angela Wan” at check-out. Every dollar counts. Thank you!


Volunteer Activity Description

Global Brigades offers 7-9 day Medical Brigades throughout the year in Honduras, Panama and Nicaragua. During a Medical Brigade, volunteers have the opportunity to take vitals and patient history in triage, shadow licensed doctors in medical consultations, and assist in a pharmacy under the direction of licensed pharmacists. Each of our partner communities receives a brigade approximately twice a year. Between brigades, our in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and to conduct Community Health Worker (CHW) trainings to empower local leaders to sustain a consistent level of healthcare. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends.
