🌍 MAHEC in Honduras!

Our interprofessional MAHEC Honduras Brigade recently traveled to Camasca, Intibucá, where they provided care to more than 350 patients in six rural communities in partnership with Shoulder to Shoulder.

Led by MAHEC Family Medicine physicians Dr. Sylvia Kauffman and Dr. Ginger Poulton, along with Clinical Pharmacist Casey Wells from MAHEC Internal Medicine, the team included residents from Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, and Transitional Year programs, plus MedServe and Davidson Impact fellows, and a retired pediatrician.

💙 We’re so proud of their teamwork and compassion. 📸 Check out the photo gallery from their trip: https://ow.ly/4Jax50YjB4y
