Extending the work of our parent organization, Shoulder to Shoulder, to improve health care in San Jose del Negrito, Honduras and training in medical care.

10/20/2026

Did you know that members of San José and surrounding communities can find most common medicines prescribed by our doctor RIGHT AT OUR CLINIC meaning they can go home with exactly what they need without having to make another stop at the pharmacy?

But keeping our clinic well stocked with the right medicine is no small feat and it’s not cheap- it takes about 1/3 of our annual operating budget!

Shoulder to Shoulder partners with Blessings International to send our meds down to Honduras twice per year. Blessings International ships high quality medicines to millions around the world each year and we’re so grateful!

Thanks to brigade alum, current board member and pharmacist extraordinaire Allie Taylor, PharmD who helps us place the orders for just the right amount of meds.

Here are a few pics of our amazing staff member Dra. Lorena getting the meds from customs.

If you want to contribute to helping us continue to keep our clinic stocked up so that folks in San José can access high quality meds at an affordable price, head to our website shouldertoshoulderpgh.org/donate to donate!

We never have to say goodbye to our friends in Honduras- just see you next time. ❤️

Thanks to all of the folks who traveled for a wildly successful brigade. If you want to meet some of these amazing folks and learn about their experience, you’re in luck ‼️

Many of them will be at our event coming up in just a few weeks!

Pins for Purpose on Sunday, Nov 15th from 12:00 noon to 3:00 p.m., at Pines Plaza Lanes, 1130 Perry Highway, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15237. The lanes are located at the rear of the shopping center.

Pins for a Purpose will be a festive afternoon of bowling, a silent auction, and a meal together, with all proceeds directly supporting the rural health clinic our organization sustains in San Jose, Honduras.

Some of our favorite interactions are with the kids in San José and surrounding communities. Who would have thought we’d run into a Steelers fan and a future doctor?

This week our brigade had the pleasure of helping out with one of our very successful programs Mamá Sana, Bebé Sano (meaning Healthy Mom, Healthy Baby). In this program, mothers receive eggs during their pregnancy and several months postpartum.

Brigade members got to help out with egg distribution and seeing the babies that came for their follow up visits. It was a busy day at the clinic.

This year’s fall brigade is under way! The group arrived safely on Sunday and is already out and about in the community. Here they are in front of the home of our nurse Veronica and they were able to visit one of her neighbors yesterday afternoon ❤️

One of the joys of our brigades are getting to work alongside all of our friends in San José. Here are few photos of some of the folks that not only make our brigades possible but continue the work every day to improve the health and well-being of San José and surrounding communities ❤️

We are thrilled to announce that the first cohort of babies has completed our nutrition program. During their pregnancies and the 1000 days postpartum, participating families receive 60 eggs per month. We launched the program with these families and this group has now graduated. We have many more mothers and babies benefiting from this exceptional program ❤️

Doing home visits to remote homes brings new meaning to “over the mountain and through the woods” but the sights and sounds make it all worth it!

We’re always looking for new ways to collaborate and serve the community. On this brigade, our very own Board member Anya is piloting a new way to screen for eye glasses. Using a simple refractory tool, she can figure out a prescription. With a kit of lens and frames, we’re able to fit community members for new glasses on the spot.
