Passionate About:

Providing services to underserved populations is something I have always felt passionate about. I am lucky enough to attend Mercy College\'s Physician Assistant program where this passion can be put to use. Every year the PA program, lead by director Lorraine Cashin, goes on a Medical Mission trip to provide treatment to people who normally do not have access to readily available healthcare. In May of 2015 we will be going to Nicaragua and providing the people there with medical, dental, and public health services. We need support from friends, families, and loved ones to get ourselves to Nicaragua equipped with the medicine and tools needed to carry out this mission. Please donate to the group as a whole or to me directly. Every little bit helps - thank you!

Volunteer Activity Description

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