Passionate About:

Wayne State University Chapter Co-President

I am passionate about helping and healing those in need in communities inside and outside the U.S. I believe healthcare should be provided to everyone, especially those who cannot receive medical care that is most often taken for granted.

About Us

Medical Brigades at Wayne State is a chapter of Global Brigades, the world's largest student-led global health and sustainable development organization. The Wayne State chapter systematically works with more than 300 other university groups around the world to deliver and implement one of nine skill-based programs that benefit more than 130,000 Honduran and Panamanian community members annually.

Global Medical Brigades develops sustainable health initiatives and provides relief where there is limited access to healthcare. Each community receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are treated and volunteers deliver public health workshops. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends.
