Passionate About:

I am so excited to have the opportunity to help the people of Honduras by providing basic medical assistance!

Medical Brigades at Purdue University is a chapter of Global Brigades, the world's largest student-led global health and sustainable development organization. The Purdue 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 and Panamanian 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.
