Albany Medical Outreach trip to the Dominican Republic, June 2019



Brandy's Message

Hello everyone!

In June 2019, I have the amazing opportunity to volunteer in The Dominican Republic and be able to assist Doctors and 24 other fellow students from the University At Albany. The goal is to provide local neighborhoods with free medical attention that is unfortunately not accessible to them on a daily basis.

With that being said, the trip is a bit pricey and my group and I are attempting to cover costs in any way we can. The donation amount DOES NOT matter! $1 could make all the difference.

Thank you,
Brandy Saravia.

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the Albany chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach trip to the Dominican Republic 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 the Dominican Republic.

One of the most exciting and important parts of volunteering with VAW is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2018, VAW treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2019. 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 [put week that your team’s tickets will be purchased, Feb. 18-25.
