Description:

Working with our in-country partners, we facilitate primary care clinics and public health interventions in Latin American countries in need. Let us help your group make a meaningful trip like this a reality.

Our mission

Hands for Global Health works to improve the health and welfare of indigenous peoples of Latin America primarily, to empower health professions students from the United States to take leadership roles in global health research and practice in Latin America, and to engage in public health interventions that reach the unreachable.

Interprofessional health care clinics

Our interprofessional clinics include health professions students and faculty from diverse fields as nursing, family nurse practitioner, physician assistant, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and pharmacy. In these primary care clinics patients are screened, have a basic physical exam, may be referred to physical and/or occupational therapy, and get basic medications at our pharmacy. The focus of these clinics is to provide primary care in regions that lack health care resources.
