Melissa Macias earned her PhD from the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, where she also went on to complete her residency. In her leisure time, Melissa Macias gives to a variety of charitable and philanthropic organizations. Previously, she traveled to Honduras as a medical student volunteer with MEDICO, seeking to improve the lives of those in Central America through comprehensive health care.
Since 1990, MEDICO, a non-denominational and non-profit service organization, has offered medical, dental, and eye care to those in need throughout Central America, by way of volunteer mission trips, projects, and partnerships with humanitarian organizations.
Volunteering with MEDICO involves a week-long trip to Honduras or Nicaragua with both medical and non-medical participants. Often, volunteers will be in very small towns helping those who are underprivileged with both medical care and health education. Monetary donations can also be made to help fund this incredible foundation, which provides services to those in very remote areas with little or no access to proper health care.
