Passionate About:

What made me want to join GMB is their mission of sustainability. I like that GMB is striving towards a lasting solution to common health issues present in a community that can be implemented and continued past the duration of the brigade. Knowing that we've left behind sanitation units and imparted knowledge on healthy practices so that community members are able to maintain their wellbeing once we've left is what makes GMB a worthy organization to represent in my opinion.

May 05	Volunteer Activity: Rice University Medical Brigade May 2016 Honduras

Rice University Medical Brigade May 2016 Honduras

End Date: May 13, 2016 12:00 AM

Volunteer Activity Message

Global Brigades offers 7-9 day Medical Brigades throughout the year in Honduras, Panama and Nicaragua. During a Medical Brigade, volunteers have the opportunity to take vitals and patient history in triage, shadow licensed doctors in medical consultations, and assist in a pharmacy under the direction of licensed pharmacists. Each of our partner communities receives a brigade approximately twice a year. Between brigades, our in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and to conduct Community Health Worker (CHW) trainings to empower local leaders to sustain a consistent level of healthcare. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends.
