CMU GMB is a chapter of the national organization Global Brigades. Global Brigades is a global health and sustainable development organization that aims to empower rural communities in Guatemala, Panama, Honduras, and Ghana through student brigades. CMU GMB's mission is to aid in this initiative by providing access to medical care and creating sustainable infrastructures in underserved communities abroad. Our organization focuses on holistic health care development of the rural areas we visit. For half of our brigade, we facilitate free mobile clinics. With a team of recruited students and licensed medical professionals, we provide basic and essential health care to underserved communities. A large aspect of clinics also targets long-term health problems by hosting educational talks about dietary health and water sanitation. Educational talks about dental hygiene are also held with the children that visit the clinic. The other half of our brigade consists of public health related projects that include educational presentations and infrastructural projects like laying concrete floors and building sanitation stations. Global Brigades also offers Telebrigades, where we meet with local health care workers to learn about the country's healthcare system and gain virtual shadowing experience. We also believe that leaving an impact in our local community should be just as much part of our mission as our global community. Therefore we will be taking further steps to increase our impact in our local community. Our organization believes that a multifaceted approach that targets health problems with immediate and long term relief can help these communities reach a better standard of living.
