Passionate About:

As a student healthcare professional, having the opportunity to help people achieve wellness would be incredibly rewarding, particularly in a setting such as Honduras where healthcare is especially lacking. This opportunity specifically interests me because I can use the skills I have learned so far such as monitoring blood pressure, taking physical assessments, giving vaccinations and counseling patients on medications. I feel that I actually have something useful to offer to these people in need. I want to be a part of something that is much bigger than myself. Learning about the people of Honduras and their healthcare needs would provide me with invaluable insight about the world and its people, an understanding that I would be unable to gain elsewhere. I can’t wait to meet the people of Honduras!

Volunteer Activity Message

Volunteers on Medical and Dental Brigades work closely together with licensed medical and dental professionals to provide quality health initiatives to a community that otherwise has limited access to health care. Volunteers spend three days in a community in order to optimize the amount of time patients are able to spend with the physicians and dentists. Each patient receives a physician consultation, public health talk, and prescribed medicines as well as have access to PAP smears, prostate exams and restorative dental care as necessary. Children, in addition, receive teeth cleaning, a fluoride treatment, and vitamins necessary for proper growth and development. Volunteers have the opportunity to take patient vitals, obtain patient history and current symptoms, shadow and assist licensed physicians and dentists, participate in preventative education, and fill prescriptions under a licensed pharmacist. Volunteers will become familiar with the prevalent health issues in their community and learn about how to prevent and treat those illnesses. These brigades provide each volunteer with the opportunity to make a tangible impact on a specific community while gaining real life experience in the field of international medicine and dentistry.

Saying "Adrienne...you don't know me, but your mom and I grew up together and she was my very first best friend...I was very shy and introverted and Debbie helped to give me courage and come out of my 'shell'. I hope this small amount can help you fulfill your dreams. Best of luck and much love and peace (even though we've never met!)."
