Volunteer Activity Message

Saint Louis University Global Medical Brigades is a chapter of Global Brigades, the world's largest student-led global health and sustainable development organization. The SLU chapter systematically works with more than 300 other university groups around the world to deliver and implement one of nine skill-based programs that benefit more than 130,000 Honduran, Panamanian and Ghanaian community members annually.

Global Medical Brigades develops sustainable health initiatives and provides relief where there is limited access to healthcare. Each community receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are treated and volunteers deliver public health workshops. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends.

SLU will travel to Ghana in December to become one of the first American clubs to implement the Global Brigades model in Africa!
