Marisa Piezzo

Passionate About:

Building relationships and a support system is absolutely crucial to maintaining perseverance and strength during a hard living situation. Most of us are extremely blessed to be privileged, living in a loving home in good health with a great education and medical resources if needed. Unfortunately, not everyone is as fortunate as we are, so it is our duty to help them achieve better health, that alone will open up many opportunities for them. My passion is bringing my knowledge, love, positivity and help to those in need but I can't do it on my own... Are you in?

Albany Medical Outreach trip to DR, June 2018

Marisa's Message

“Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve…. You don’t have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”
~Martin Luther King, Jr.

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the Albany chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach trip to DR this upcoming Summer! Volunteers will work in mobile medical clinics, where they will have the opportunity to intake patients, conduct public health surveys, take vitals, shadow local physicians, work in the pharmacy, teach education classes, and much more! If you’re interested in joining, contact us for more information!

VAW at Albany will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in DR.

One of the most exciting and important parts of volunteering with VAW is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2017, VAW treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2018. One of the things that make our mobile clinics unique is that we not only triage and diagnose patients, but also provide them with the basic medications needed. Fundraising for medications is a huge part of creating a successful mobile clinic to help the local communities with effective care.

**Note: airfare goal will be updated once flights are purchased, tentatively the week of January 28-feb 3rd
