GlobeMed stands with Haiti

GlobeMed stands with Haiti
The GlobeMed Network is standing with the people of Haiti in the wake of the devastating earthquake on January 12th. GlobeMed chapters and students across the country are supporting the efforts of Partners In Health to provide much needed emergency care to those injured in the earthquake while at the same time gearing up for the long-term task of treating the sick and building back better. Students are holding fundraisers, organizing educational events, and engaging their administrations in leveraging university resources for those affected in this tragedy.

 

GlobeMed students at Northwestern University and Rhodes College have emailed and met with their university presidents to coordinate meaningful responses. GlobeMed students at Barnard College have been working with their student government to educate students on the underlying causes of the disaster. GlobeMed students at University of Colorado-Boulder organized other student groups to plan fundraising events for Partners In Health's work in Haiti.

 

In addition, dedicated student volunteers at the GlobeMed National Office have been advising students at universities where GlobeMed chapters are not present on how to coordinate efforts and mobilize their campuses to support Partners In Health.

 

Please consider supporting the work of Partners In Health through:

  • Donating to PIH
  • Creating a fundraising page for yourself, your university, or your organization
  • Emailing students@pih.org for advising and guidance on hosting events and supporting the work of PIH
