San Francisco

Passionate About:

Since a young age, I have always strived to help others. Whether it's physical or mental health, I will always go above and beyond to ensure I am doing my best. I especially want to provide aid and education in poverty stricken or underdeveloped areas, where many face extreme difficulties on a day-to-day basis. With my bachelors degree in psychology and minor in Spanish, I hope to take what I have learned at the University of San Francisco and use it to change and help the lives of others.

San Francisco Medical Outreach trip to Guatemala, June 2018
  1. Affiliated Organization: VAW Global Health Alliances
  2. Chapter: VAW at San Francisco, Medical Outreach
End Date: Jun 15, 2018 12:00 AM
Volunteer Activity Message

Join the San Francisco chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach trip to Guatemala 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 San Francisco will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in Guatemala.

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
