Elizabeth's Message

“Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”
-Mother Teresa

I am so very excited to be a part of the Loyola Medical Brigade which will take place in Nicaragua this January! It is my calling in life to help people who are in dire need of health services. I am eager and ready to help all those in need! Please help me by donating to help those who are struggling. Any amount will be extremely helpful! I am so thankful for your time and donation!

Volunteer Activity Description

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. 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.
