GlobeMed at University of Cincinnati 4th Annual Benefit Dinner
GlobeMed at University of Cincinnati is a chapter of a national organization which seeks to promote health equity and social justice. GlobeMed is an organization founded by college students and run by college students, and recognizes the importance of partnering with grassroots organizations to outline the needs of a community. Social Action for Women (SAW), the partner organization of this chapter, is located in Mae Sot, Thailand, near the Thai-Burma border. SAW serves the needs of Burmese migrants, who often cross the border seeking work or to escape political unrest. GlobeMed at UC funds the Community Health Outreach Project (CHOP). Through CHOP, SAW works with its communities to identify their needs, including women's health, personal hygiene and preventative medicine, and community engagement. SAW trains peer educators within the migrant communities, who return to their communities to educate their peers and serve as a resource and point of contact within their communities.
The annual benefit dinner is a space to bring together local professionals, educators, and other supporters of GlobeMed's initiative. It is an opportunity to learn about GlobeMed as a national, and global, organization, and specifically about the Univerity of Cincinnati chapter. This year, we will be featuring a keynote speaker, Dr. Christine O'Dea.
