Mission Statement
Frontera de Salud is an interdisciplinary student-run, Hearst Foundation endowed, 501(c) (3) healthcare service program for students, faculty volunteers and healthcare providers to bring medical and healthy living services to underserved areas of Texas. Frontera de Salud provides education to students, allows students to develop skills in practicing scientifically based yet compassionate preventive patient care and benefits communities by connecting students, patients, community health programs and other resources. The students lead in deciding what activities to participate in and which organizations to collaborate with.

Frontera de Salud tables booths at various events on the UTMB campus. Whether it be at Plazapalooza or JSSOM/SON/OT/etc. orientations, tabling booths gives Frontera de Salud the opportunity to get our name out to the entire UTMB community and recruit students from various programs. We have liaison and ambassadors from the various programs at UTMB who lead these events.
Frontera de Salud offers a wide variety of opportunities to volunteer. Some of these opportunities include local vaccine clinics, health fairs, weekly garden harvesting and maintenance at Holland House, monthly Coastal Pals activities at Holland House, and an annual medical mission trip to Presidio County.
These activities are important to fulfilling the Frontera de Salud mission which is to identify and address community healthcare needs of the local under-served community while providing students additional competencies in primary healthcare settings and exposing students to the most under-served and disadvantaged communities in order to engender empathy, compassion, and a commitment to service.
Frontera de Salud offers students opportunities in research and scholarship to showcase our various projects to the UTMB and greater Galveston communities. Some of our presentations have focused on our work along the border, the garden beds we built at Holland House and funded by the President's Cabinet Award, and the Coastal Pals program which offers companionship to the various residents at Holland House.
Our engagement in research and scholarship is important to developing the professional skills of our students and showcasing the many ways we are impacting our Galveston community and beyond.
Frontera de Salud encourages students to further develop their Spanish skills at IPE Spanish workshops held in collaboration with QQD, COTAD, and LMSA. These workshops focus on language in the clinical setting and are geared to allow learners of all levels to practice and expand their knowledge. While speaking Spanish is not a requirement to join our organization, it is a useful skill to have for our annual medical mission trip along the border.

Additionally, our goal is to facilitate a journey towards inner peace and spiritual exploration through meditation, Reiki, acupuncture, yoga, Tarot, crystals, herbs, and more.

Educational materials will consist of information on integrative medicine from various cultures and about the history and purpose behind diverse rituals and how they may be of importance in patient lives.

At events with a booth, we will have pamphlets about spirituality and integrative medicine to hand out to educate students. We will also advertise local services that people can use, such as massage therapists, acupunturists, yoga studios, and more. We may also do Tarot readings for interested students and offer free candles and herbal teas for people to try. As a new club, we would like to get up and running for a few months before getting involved in voluteer activities.

We strongly support students attending conferences to get connected with peers and demonstrate their research. We find that students gain beneficial experience attending and can add it to their resume.
Donation drives are held by LMSA to support the local communities. Our most consistent drive is the diaper drive which provides necessities that mothers may not be able to afford.
Hosting and attending guest speaker events provides information to our students depending on the natures of the lecture. Some guest speakers describe their specialty, while others give advice for Latino students.
Volunteering is fundamental in LMSA as we often participate in local volunteering opportunities. We also host joint events with other school of medicine organizations.

Mission Statement
Salud Para Todos is a student organization that was created in light of the stark contrast between the need for Spanish-competent physicians and the exponential growth of low English-proficiency (LEP) patients. Since there is currently no medical Spanish course available to UTMB students, Salud Para Todos was created to fill the gap in education that would benefit countless patients.
Our main goal is to effectively and efficiently teach correct Spanish grammar as well as foment cultural humility and an understanding of Latin American culture and issues. We aim to provide a comprehensive training in the basics of Spanish grammar set in the context of a patient interview with the end goal of being able to conduct a simple medical interview in Spanish.

Our main goal is to effectively and efficiently teach correct Spanish grammar as well as foment cultural humility and an understanding of Latin American culture and issues.
We aim to provide a comprehensive training in the basics of Spanish grammar set in the context of a patient interview with the end goal of being able to conduct a simple medical interview in Spanish.
Accomplishing this goal includes weekly meetings with didactic teaching, mentor-led small groups that rely on roleplaying to act out patient encounter scenarios, and guest speakers from a Hispanic background as well as representatives from other student organizations to bridge the gap between the theory of language class with the practical application of real-life communication.
The implementation of improvements may come in the form of changing the course curriculum, modifying the responsibilities of course mentors and/or organization officers, and updating the lesson plans and course objectives.
