Blanca’s House is a Long Island-based NGO that sponsors all-volunteer medical and surgical missions to multiple underserved areas of Ecuador. Stony Brook's clinical faculty and students have often participated in these initiatives, and it is now an academic partner of Blanca’s House, which has a full-time clinic in Guayaquil. Both clinical and research electives are welcome.
