Hospital & Health Care - South Orange, New Jersey, United States
The mission of Medical Brigade at Seton Hall University is working with local licensed medical professionals to provide comprehensive health care in rural communities with limited access to healthcare. Medical Brigade volunteers have the opportunity to shadow licensed professionals in consultations and assist in filling necessary prescriptions under the direction of a licensed professionals. Each of our partner communities receives a brigade every 3 to 6 months where hundreds of patients are provided one on one consultations, public health workshops, and given the proper medication or referral. Electronic patient records are collected through data Informatics to monitor overall community health trends. The local physicians that are a part of the in-country team maintain relationships within the communities to provide follow-up care and education.
