Volunteer Activity Message

Davidson College Global Health aims to improve access to health resources and promote health fluency locally and globally. Among other activities, members volunteer at local clinics, facilitate blood drives, and host fundraising events for Health Reach and other organizations in the community. This year, 16 members have the exciting opportunity to take DCGH’s mission one step further and participate in a Medical Brigade in Panama in May 2022. Global Brigades is a non-profit organization that uniquely implements holistic models to meet communities’ health and economic goals. Since 2008, Global Brigade has refined a holistic approach specific to the strengths and goals of Panamanian communities to grow local economies, improve access to healthcare, and empower families with legal resources to resolve disputes and formalize businesses. In Panama, Global Brigades provides primary health care services to small, under-resourced, rural communities with limited to no access to medical care. During the Brigade, students will work in triage, shadow physicians, provide educational workshops, help distribute medication in local pharmacies, and increase the knowledge of chronic illness screening techniques among community health workers. Students’ work will support Global Brigades’ efforts to close the health inequality gap in these communities. All donations are greatly appreciated and we thank you for your generosity. Feel free to reach out to Bella if you have any questions or want to learn about DCGH’s Medical Brigade in Panama further.
