Chapman University Global Medical Brigades

Global Medical Brigades is a secular, student-led organization that travels to developing countries to perform health care in communities without access to medicine otherwise. Stationed in the United States, and its current focus is on the country of Honduras. Mission: "To lead a holistic model for sustainable health care in underserved villages that conducts preliminary needs assessment, treats patients to the highest ethical standards, sponsors referrals to those with needs beyond our capability, records data for the production of quantitative reports, and works to improve the water, sanitation, and economic infrastructures." Chapman University is in Orange, CA and plans annual trips to Honduras. There are also various universities nationally that have active groups. www.medicalbrigades.com
