SUNY Stony Brook Medical/Dental Brigade May 2016 Honduras



Bea's Message

Hello!
This May 2016, I'll be traveling to Honduras with Global Medical Brigades, a student-run volunteer trip through Stony Brook University. For six days, we'll be volunteering to set up temporary clinics to provide as much free medical aid as possible to small villages and communities that don't easily get to have these health care privileges. However, there are a lot of costs that factor into making this happen: we must raise funds for the medication we are sending over there as well as the expense of the trip itself. All of us desire to give these people a happy life, and that all starts with their health and well-being. I ask for your generosity to extend to those in need, most especially to the people of Honduras who deserve the proper health care that we ourselves often take for granted. Any donations will be greatly appreciated! Remember, a little can go a long way :) Thank you!

-Bea

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.
