Monica's Message

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! As you may know, I am loving life as a nursing student at Cardinal Stritch University!
I am thrilled to have the opportunity to be a part of Stritch's first ever medical brigades trip to Honduras!! I know this will be a wonderful experience and I am so excited about the work we be able to do in Honduras, hoping to touch many lives!
I can't wait to share my memories and experiences with friends and family! The knowledge I gain will undoubtedly help me in my education and career as a nurse!!

Thank you again for your interest and support!!

Volunteer Activity Description

Volunteers on the Medical will be working closely together to provide quality health initiatives to a community that otherwise has limited access to health care. Volunteers will 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 will receive a physician consultation, teeth cleaning and a fluoride treatment as well as have access to pap smears, prostate exams and restorative dental care as necessary. Volunteers will 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.
