Passionate About:

My name is Chelsea Dividock and I am an undergraduate biology student at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown. I heard about Global Medical Brigades and their service trip to Honduras through my professors. We will be traveling to Honduras to help provide health care and medical supplies to communities in need. We will be working with doctors, dentists, and community members to care for patients that would otherwise have no access to medical care.
Please join me in supporting the work I will be doing in Honduras. Any donation will help make a difference. I sincerely appreciate all of your positive thoughts and support!

About Us

University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown is a chapter of Global Medical Brigades, an international movement of students and medical professionals working alongside local communities and staff to implement sustainable health systems. We work in remote, rural, and under resourced communities in Honduras, Panama, Nicaragua and Ghana who would otherwise have limited to no access to health care. Each community receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are provided access to healthcare and volunteers deliver public health workshops. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends. nnIn conjunction with our Medical Program, Global Brigades also supports communities with economic development, sanitation and clean water projects, and uniquely implements these programs in a holistic model to meet a community’s health and economic goals. Our model systematically builds community ownership and collaboratively executes programs with the end goal of sustainably evolving to a relationship of impact monitoring.
