Global Initiative: Global Health
Welcome to the home page for Global Initiative: Global Health.
This is the fourth in our yearly cycle of events around a common theme. In the past,
we've done GI on Latin America, Sustainability and Asia.
This year we want to address many of the critical issues, ideas, problems and challenges
in health care.
Here's our mission statement: A yearlong educational program that examines issues
involving health, well-being, and health care from our local community through the
challenges faced by the nation and world.
Global Initiative: Global Health will run on the calendar year beginning in the spring 2012 semester in mid-January,
and finishing at the end of fall semester in December 2012. Make sure you check out
our link to upcoming events.
We want to stress how Global Initiative is a true partnership between our college
community and the greater Hudson Valley. We welcome anyone to our campuses in Middletown
and Newburgh to attend our events, or, if you have some relevant theme, please propose
an event for us.
Most of all, come with an open mind and let SUNY Orange help provide clarity on issues
involving Global Health, or, at least raise provocative questions that will help us
better understand these complex issues and find solutions to them.
