abstract
Shoulder to Shoulder, founded by Jeff Heck in 1990, works to provide services and support sustainable efforts to improve healthcare in rural Honduras. Over the past 20 years they have acquired partnerships with academic institutions and other non-profit health facilities to further their mission. Some partners have raised enough money to build clinics in rural areas of Honduras, which they staff with students and professionals with the help of Shoulder to Shoulder. The University of Wyoming has a strong relationship with Shoulder to Shoulder through our participation in past medical brigades; that relationship would be strengthened by building a UW clinic in Agua Salada. A UW-sponsored clinic would provide a symbiotic environment for learning, teaching, experience, and care. Students pursuing Spanish, international relations, global and public health, nursing, pharmacy, medicine, social work, and more, would have an opportunity to provide services to Hondurans in need while honing their professional and pre-professional skills. The people of Agua Salada would have access to quality care and education from the students and professionals staffing the clinic on brigades. This project is intended to build support and a financial foundation to build a clinic and open up more international opportunities for UW students. note
