California Polytechnic State University, San Louis Obispo Medical/Dental Brigade June 2015 Honduras



Shannon's Message

Hi family and friends! I will be traveling to Honduras this coming June 15 - 22 to volunteer in a medical clinic with a group called Global Brigades. I am the VP of Medicine for the Global Brigade chapter at Cal Poly, SLO, and have been working hard all year to gather the medical supplies, doctor volunteers, and donations needed for the clinic. All of these donations go towards those in Honduras. I am incredibly excited, however this trip is a bit out of my price range. I need your help to gather all of the funds necessary to go on this amazing trip. Every little bit helps, so please donate what you can! Thank you in advance for your support!

Volunteer Activity Description

Global Brigades offers 7-9 day Medical Brigades throughout the year in Honduras, Panama, Ghana, Guatemala and Greece. 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.
