A community of people who believe health equity is possible

CGHE is a community before it is a center. Our members span schools and departments across the University of Michigan, and our partnerships extend across institutions, countries, and disciplines. We don't replace the teams and organizations our members belong to. We connect them, and make the work bigger than any one of them could do alone.

Project
Program
"CGHE is a good illustration of how to enter into global health activities — how they are designed, how they manage the governance of those programs, and how they are implemented — so that people from low- and middle-income countries have a greater say."
- Nelson Sewankambo, Professor Emeritus and former Dean of Makerere Medical School, Uganda; member, External Advisory Board, Center for Global Health Equity
"CGHE is really a beacon to the aspiration to give back to communities you come from. It gives us access to people who've done this before us, so they can educate us about how best to go about our work."
- Arvind Rao, Professor of Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics, University of Michigan
"CGHE provided essential seed funding that helped us build our team and forge connections between architecture and urban planning experts and environmental health researchers. From the outset, CGHE recognized the importance of interdisciplinary research in this space."
- Ana Paula Pimentel Walker, PhD, Associate Professor, Architecture and Urban Planning, University of Michigan
"CGHE has consistently valued and supported community-based approaches, which have been fundamental to our partnerships with housing movements and grassroots organizations. This commitment has been invaluable to ensuring our work's relevance and impact in the communities we serve."
- Ana Paula Pimentel Walker, PhD, Associate Professor, Architecture and Urban Planning, University of Michigan
"CGHE is the nucleating point — it identifies target institutions, target problems, and target investigators. It creates introductions and possibilities for collaborative projects that simply would not be possible otherwise."
- Ulysses Balis, Professor of Pathology, University of Michigan
"CGHE funding was absolutely instrumental in enabling foundational work for the Longitudinal Study of Health and Ageing in Kenya (LOSHAK), which ultimately resulted in $23.6M in NIH funding, and research that will transform our knowledge about health and aging in Kenya."
- Josh Ehrlich, Paul R. Lichter Research Professor, University of Michigan
“From its beginnings, this center has embodied what happens when vision meets partnership. With the Yamada family’s gift, matched by the University, CGHE has become a hub for collaboration across disciplines and borders.”
- Laurie McCauley, Provost, University of Michigan
"I have watched the center build something genuinely rare: a research enterprise grounded in the conviction that health equity is not a niche concern, but a defining challenge of our era."
- Julio Frenk, Chancellor of UCLA and Chair of the External Advisory Board, Center for Global Health Equity
