► Santa Lucia, Honduras: During the 2024 Ohio State Brigade to Santa Lucía, we collaborated with Buckeyes Without Borders to help provide clinical care in local communities. As part of this effort, we incorporated point-of-care ultrasound by bringing a mobile ultrasound unit to evaluate patients at the bedside. This collaboration allowed us to support real-time clinical decision-making and expand access to imaging in a resource-limited setting.
