MEDLIFE at UC Berkeley

UCB Medlife requires that all students be enrolled in a DeCal the semester prior to attending a trip.

MEDLIFE (Medicine, Education, and Development for Low Income Families Everywhere) is an organization dedicated to helping families achieve greater freedom from the constraints of poverty, empowering them to live healthier lives. At Berkeley, students apply to attend a 1 or 2 week brigade where they volunteer at a mobile clinic with local physicians to provide healthcare to rural communities. The DeCal aims to prepare students for the upcoming trip with medical Spanish lessons and introduction of the type of work they will be doing. We also plan fundraising and global health awareness events in and around the Berkeley campus

Throughout the semester we hold fundraising events to raise money for the MEDLIFE Fund- all proceeds go directly to building community development projects or medical clinics in the areas we help. We also hold supply drives for medicines and toiletries to donate and bring over to South America.

Over the last 15 years, MEDLIFE has brought high-quality healthcare services to thousands of families through our Mobile Clinics and Patient Follow-Up Program. Now, it’s time to take the next step. This year, your Moving Mountains fundraising efforts will help us construct the MED Center: A multipurpose community hub that brings sustainable development to low-income families.

Our goal is that the MED Center helps combat healthcare shortages by providing hundreds of medical and dental consultations on a daily basis. In addition to the permanent clinic, we envision that the MED Center will also be home to a bilingual primary school.

Through providing high-quality services in medicine, education, and development, we will build a better future for generations to come. Join us in building a sustainable tomorrow for low-income families by donating to our UC Berkeley fundraising page! Link in bio 💛💛
