The Global Health Work Group's members are doing great work all around the world. We've compiled some of that work into short excerpts detailing how our members are making an impact in their connected communities. If you or someone you know is doing great work either globally or in the local global context, please email us at ghsph@umn.edu so we can feature their story on our website!
Another way we want to feature the work that our members are doing is through a Story Map. Check out our map of global health activities to see the projects and collaborations that SPH faculty have ongoing around the world! Click here to see the map.
