Passionate About:

I am extremely passionate about this organization! Having the opportunity to travel abroad is an experience I have always wanted. Being able to help people has been my calling since day one. I love my life and one way to show I am truly thankful for it is by helping others. I would love to become a doctor someday and help save lives in this world. My dream begins now with Global Brigades. It provides me the chance to help save 7,000 lives within a week. All I have to say is that I am extremely thankful and excited! Please join me in helping others and donate. Any monetary donation is appreciated. Thank you and God bless!

About Us

University of Texas San Antonio 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.
