Passionate About:

This coming January, I am attending a trip to El Paraiso, Honduras with the University of Virginia Medical and Dental Brigades. We hold medical brigades in poor, rural villages where we take vitals, aid in dental operations, prepare prescriptions, shadow doctors and teach patients how to maintain their health. I am very excited for this opportunity to travel abroad and help those in need.
Thanks,
Elizabeth Grace Ball

Volunteer Activity Message

Medical Brigade volunteers set up medical clinics in pre-identified communities to provide healthcare where access is limited. Each community receives a brigade every 3-4 months and between brigades the in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and conducts community health worker trainings to empower local leaders to perpetuate a consistent level of healthcare.
Dental Brigade volunteers provide urgent and preventive dental services in communities with limited access to healthcare. Each of our community partners receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are treated with fillings, cleanings and extractions, and are given dental hygiene workshops.
