This year for our 2019 brigade, UNC Charlotte's Global Medical Brigades chapter hopped on a flight south to the extraordinary country of Panama. With the help of fundraising and donations, 31 of our members were able to give medical aid and education to nearly 300 patients with only 3 days of clinic! This experience was beyond rewarding for both parties involved, caregivers and patients alike. The brigadiers not only gained experience in the medical field but also connected with their patients, bonded with fellow brigadiers, and overall created a lasting influence on the different communities. A huge thank you (or gracias!) goes out to each and every one of the brigadiers, doctors, and patients for making this years medical aid trip possible!
