GlobeMed partnerships are rooted in the belief that local aspirations are a centripetal force behind community change. Many grassroots organizations working to improve health in vulnerable communities have indispensable resources - community members who passionately care about health, local knowledge of customs and culture, and strong social networks. However, working in conditions of extreme poverty, these leaders face sharp and seemingly intractable challenges. Students are in a unique position to help connect such health organizations with resources that can help to improve health in their communities.
That's why GlobeMed chapters partner with grassroots health organizations working on the frontlines of global health and social justice around the world. Together, each chapter and partner collaborate to develop, fund and implement projects that are improving the health and well-being of people living in poverty. By working in solidarity with their partner organizations year after year, GlobeMed chapters are achieving sustainable global impact.
