Redlands Medical Outreach trip to Panama, June 2017



Bria's Message

Hi friends and family! This upcoming summer some friends and I are traveling down to Panama for a couple weeks to volunteer in a mobile clinic where we will take vitals, shadow and assist doctors, and also learn about dosage and usage of medicines. We'll also have a couple days to explore the country. However, in order to achieve everything we want to do and treat all the people we want to help, we need money. (I know I know, doesn't everyone need money?) BUT this is for a great cause and I would really appreciate anything you are willing to give! I would love to talk to anyone who wants to know more about the trip or what we're doing!

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the Redlands chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach trip to Panama this upcoming summer! Volunteers will work in mobile medical clinics, where they will have the opportunity to intake patients, conduct public health surveys, take vitals, shadow local physicians, work in the pharmacy, teach education classes, and much more! If you’re interested in joining, contact us for more information!


VAW at Redlands will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in Panama.

One of the most exciting and important parts of volunteering with VAW is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2016, VAW treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2017. One of the things that make our mobile clinics unique is that we not only triage and diagnose patients, but also provide them with the basic medications needed. Fundraising for medications is a huge part of creating a successful mobile clinic to help the local communities with effective care.


**Note: airfare goal will be updated once flights are purchased, tentatively the week of Feb. 6.
