The University of Michigan has a long tradition of international engagement and individual global health programs that have often been centered within its numerous colleges and institutes. The Center for Global Health Equity aims to enhance the ongoing work of these existing efforts by fostering connectivity to increase cross-campus initiatives and programming. Global health leaders from across our academic units provided input to help define the Center's thematic priorities and overall approach to impact.
The Center brings together faculty, staff, and students from across the U-M community with external partners in pursuit of novel global health solutions that can positively impact individuals and communities in low- and middle-income settings. Inspired by a catalytic gift—matched by the university—from Dr. Tachi and Leslie Yamada, the Center focuses on collaboration for meaningful change.
