Rochester General Health System Volunteers

FAB also provides volunteer opportunities for Rochester General Health System’s non-medical as well as medical staff.  Through a partnership with the Scouts of Belize, FAB volunteers set up that country’s first computer lab for the indigent and taught local Scout boys and girls how to use them.  InterVol gave computers to the Belize Ministry of Health for use in their hospitals.  These computers were recycled from Rochester General Health System.  The Information Technology (IT) personnel cleaned, processed and prepared them.

Through a grant from the Dorothea Haus Ross Foundation, InterVol has set up a Telemedicine Network in Belize, a project headed by RGH nurse Cindy Gordon.  Again, hospital IT personnel have been involved and even used their own vacation time to travel to Belize to help set up the infrastructure.
