Cindy's Message

So excited to be able to finally go on a medical mission trip!! After 27 years of nursing experience, and always talking about wanting to do this, the dream is finally coming true. I am so thrilled to be sharing this experience with a very good friend, Hayley Sprenger, who is Pre-Med at Regis University, and a bunch of nursing students. I can't wait to serve and be able to share the passion for nursing that drives me every day. I would greatly appreciate any sponsorship donations that you could contribute. The world will be a better place because those of us who can go, will go to serve those less fortunate than ourselves. Thanks for considering, and I know this trip will bless many lives.

Volunteer Activity Description

Volunteers on the Medical and Dental Brigades will be working closely together to provide quality health initiatives to a community that otherwise has limited access to health care. Volunteers will spend three days in a community in order to optimize the amount of time patients are able to spend with the physicians and dentists. Each patient will receive a physician consultation, teeth cleaning and a fluoride treatment as well as have access to pap smears, prostate exams and restorative dental care as necessary. Volunteers will have the opportunity to take patient vitals, obtain patient history and current symptoms, shadow and assist licensed physicians and dentists, participate in preventative education, and fill prescriptions under a licensed pharmacist. Volunteers will become familiar with the prevalent health issues in their community and learn about how to prevent and treat those illnesses. These brigades provide each volunteer with the opportunity to make a tangible impact on a specific community while gaining real life experience in the field of international medicine and dentistry
