Arcadia Medical Brigade to Nicaragua March 2015



Brittany's Message

Friends and family, as you all know I am currently studying at Arcadia University to become a Physician Assistant. My class has the opportunity to go to Nicaragua for spring break in May of 2015 to provide free healthcare to those in need. This will be an amazing experience for me to practice my skills and help others. To make this trip possible, I'm reaching out to ask for donations. Any amount would be greatly appreciated. Once you make a donation, you will receive an electronic receipt via email which can be used as a tax deduction. To donate, please visit this link and scroll down to find my profile. If you cannot see my profile, scroll to the bottom of the page and click the view all button on the left. Thank you in advance for helping me raise money to make a difference in other people's lives.

Volunteer Activity Description

Medical Brigade volunteers have the opportunity to shadow licensed doctors in medical consultations and assist in a pharmacy under the direction of licensed pharmacists through a one week Medical Brigade in Honduras, Panama, or Ghana. Student volunteers can either join an existing Medical Brigades chapter on their campus or create their own chapter and recruit other volunteers. Each of our partner community receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are treated and volunteers deliver public health workshops. 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.
