Health
Bridges helps coordinate several medical brigades throughout the year. Teams of physicians, dentists, nurses, physician assistants and physical therapists work around the Copan department providing primary and dental care for adults and children. Bridges was also instrumental in the opening and support for a physical therapy and rehabilitation center in Copan Ruinas. This clinic provides people with disabilities the consistent treatment they need to aid in their recovery from injuries. Children with chronic conditions have access to focused therapy based on their diagnoses. Visiting physical therapists and physicians work with health providers to provide continuity of care and the most up-to-date medical care.
You can support these brigades by making a donation through Bridges. Donations will be used to purchase PT, medical and dental supplies and medicines, as well as maintain and repair dental equipment. Donations are also needed to repair the clinic in Agua Caliente which was damaged during storms in 2024.
Medical Brigade in Agua Caliente
"Bridges supports the organization of medical brigades in the primary care area (malnutrition, healthy child check-ups, diabetes, hypertension, etc.) and the care of people with disabilities. Also in the opening and support for the rehabilitation center in Copán Ruinas."
With the Municipality of Copan Ruinas, we conducted a physical rehabilitation brigade for children and adults at the Rehabilitation Center located in Copán Ruinas.
AGUA CALIENTE CLINIC
Bridges supports a small clinic in Aguacaliente along with the local government. But it needs many repairs, and we need your help.
