Our August 2015 trip included 44 students/faculty/alumni from Samuel Merritt University, CSU East Bay, and SFSU providing care for 3 days in Batata. Samuel Merritt also supported a videographer to come on the trip, capturing audio and video of participants in action. Learn more about why global health experiences can be life-changing, see images of life in Batata, and hear HFGH participants share their experiences.

On August 15-21, 2015, an interprofessional group of students and faculty from Samuel Merritt University in Oakland travelled to the small village of Batata in Panama to provide three days of primary, ambulatory care clinics for the indigenous people in the region. On this trip, SMU sent a videographer as to provide a glimpse into the experience.
