Casey's Message

Hi everyone,

Thank you for taking the time to visit my fundraising page. Those of you who know me well know that I am extremely passionate about helping others, especially those in need. This year I have partnered with the Elon University chapter of the Global Medical Brigades and I will be traveling to Nicaragua at the beginning of August to provide medical, pharmaceutical, and dental clinics to rural communities that typically have no access to medical care. My peers and I will be able to make a substantial impact on the lives of many while getting hands-on experience in the medical field. All of our work is paid for through donations and fundraising and each of us must raise money to cover the costs of travel, food, board, and various medical supplies. I ask for your support so I can help those in need. Every donation, no matter how small or large, will help make an extraordinary impact.

Sincerely,

Casey McVicar

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.
