George Washington Medical Chapter Fundraiser - AEDs for Urban Clinics in Honduras
Medical Fundraiser at George Washington University
Fundraiser Information
Dates: February 14 - December 31, 2024
Global Brigades offers 7-9 day Medical Brigades throughout the year in Honduras, Panama, Ghana, Guatemala, Greece and Belize. 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. For this fundraiser, the Medical Chapter at George Washington University is coming together to organize a fundraiser in an effort to purchase an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and donate it to one of the Urban Clinics operated by Global Brigades in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. With this donation, medical professionals at the Urban Clinic will have the necessary tools to help those experiencing sudden cardiac arrest, either staff members or daily clinic patients, and potentially save lives. We appreciate every single effort and donation towards this cause!
