Dear friends
The 2010-2011 academic year has proven that the members
of GlobeMed at the University of Michigan have the courage
to match their big dreams and even bigger hearts
Throughout the year they jumped on any opportunity that
might turn their ideals into tangible progress matched with
the maturity to honestly reflect on those actions and improve
their strategy
Progress however could not have been possible without a
commitment to partnership partnership with the Joy-
Southfield Community Development Corporation in Detroit
Michigan and Tiyatien Health in Zwedru Liberia partnership
with the University of Michigan and finally partnership or
rather friendship with each other The community borne from
ties of friendship becomes a formidable force when in pursuit
of an ideal so when these ties stretch from within us to our
neighbors to halfway around the world imagine the potential
our far-reaching amity holds As a Rwandan proverb says
ldquoTo go fast walk alone To go far walk togetherrdquo
In the following pages we share with you the work we have
done this past year I ask however that you not focus too
much on the facts presented but on the unwritten
achievements we are now able to accomplish because of
them On our part we will strive to use our past not as a
map but as a lens with which to guide the future so as to
build a strong foundation from which future members will
grow My greatest hope is that this becomes the over-arching
mentality in striving for health equity
Thank you for your support and belief in our work
In solidarity

JS Farmers Market Kickoff
Over the summer members from
GlobeMed at the University of
Michigan had traveled to Detroit to
work with children in JSCDCrsquos
Healthy Empowered Youth in
Detroit (HEY Detroit) program
Together they planted watered
and weeded two community
gardens the vegetables grown from
these efforts were then sold
alongside other vendors in an
abandoned lot across the street
from JSCDCrsquos clinic The Kickoff
Celebration in the fall was an
official albeit belated initiation of
the Cody-Rouge communityrsquos first

First Staff Meeting
After membership applications were
submitted reviewed and selected
we held our first general staff
meeting less than a month after
classes started Over 40 members
showed up for the first staff
meeting where they were oriented
to the structure of the organization
and introduced to the
responsibilities of each committee
in the chapter By the next meeting
they had been assigned a
committee based on their
preferences and would begin
planning their first campaign or
event with their committee
members
Sept 30 2010
Staff Potluck
There are few opportunities for
members to properly meet each
other at a staff meeting so e-board
members hosted a staff potluck at
the beginning of the year for
everyone to become better
acquainted We held another
potluck at the beginning of second
semester to become reacquainted
and reinforce relationships between
fellow members so as to more
effectively work together

Staff Retreat
For the majority of our chapter

ABOUT US
GlobeMed at the University of Michigan ndash Ann Arbor
GlobeMed at the University of
Michigan is a reincarnation of
the Global Medical Relief
Program (GMRP) In 2006
leaders from UMrsquos GMRP
chapter had met with those
spearheading a reevaluation of
GMRPrsquos mission helping to
develop their new model for
addressing issues of global
health GlobeMed A partnership
with the Joy-Southfield
Community Development
Corporation (JSCDC) in Detroit
Michigan began immediately in
2006 By 2007 GlobeMed at
UM had started its global
partnership with the Mali Health
Organizing Project (MHOP)
In 2009 the partnership with
MHOP came to an end and a
new relationship was formed
with Tiyatien Health (TH) based
in Zwedru Liberia Since 2009
GlobeMed at UM has grown
tremendously raising over
$16000 for TH starting three
community gardens and a
farmerrsquos market in Detroit and
nearly quadrupling its
membership to accomplish all of
the above
since our founding in our chapter
has grown from to members

TIYATIEN HEALTH
KEY FACT In 2003 the end of
the civil war Liberia was left with
50 government medical doctors
KEY FACT Liberia has an
unemployment rate of 85 due
in part to lack of infrastructure
and opportunities
[About Tiyatien Health]
FOUNDED IN 2007
Tiyatien Health (TH) was founded by survivors of
Liberiarsquos civil war in 2007 when the urgent need for
community-based health care was realized TH believes
that the sustainable rebuilding of Liberia relies greatly on
the promotion of healthcare and the fundamental rights
of the rural poor The GlobeMed chapter at the
University of Michigan felt immediately connected with
Tiyatien Healthrsquos grassroots community-based model
when their partnership began in the fall of 2009 Since
beginning its partnership the GlobeMed chapter has
supported THrsquos initiatives involving micro financing and
its core community health worker program In addition to
these project areas TH also focuses on the areas of
mental health psychosocial support economic
development and womenrsquos empowerment
[WORKS IN ZWEDRU GRAND GEDEH
COUNTY LIBERIA]
POPULATION 23903
Liberia has recently emerged from a 14-year civil war that left
the country with intense poverty and a fractured health care
delivery system Since the war Liberia has been rebuilding
its health infrastructure and increasing its capacity for
providing comprehensive healthcare The town of Zwedru
where Tiyatien Health is based is located in rural Southeast
Liberia where sources of basic health services are sparse
The largest hospital in Southeast Liberia is located in Zwedru
and its patients often travel for hours on foot to receive basic
healthcare

KEY FACT In the Detroit area
childhood obesity and
overweight rates are about 20
higher than the national average
KEY FACT The childhood
obesity epidemic threatens to
make this the first generation to
experience a shorter life
expectancy than their parents
[About Joy-Southfield Community
Development Corporation]
FOUNDED IN 2001
The Joy-Southfield Community Development
Corporation (JSCDC) was founded in the basement of
Second Grace United Methodist Church in 2001 with a
mission of neighborhood revitalization through family
life-skill support and community economic development
Its health and education center has grown to provide
free healthcare and prevention resources to the un- and
under-insured living in the Cody-Rouge community of
Detroit Michigan The JSCDC utilizes an environmental
model of health that is based on the idea that the
reduction of environmental risk factors to health is
essential for community health and that access to health
should not be determined by where one lives The
partnership between the JSCDC and the GlobeMed
chapter at the University of Michigan began in 2006 and
since then the GlobeMed chapter has been helping to
coordinate and lead health workshops for Detroit
families along with aiding the establishment of a
farmerrsquos market and two community gardens
[WORKS IN DETROIT MICHIGAN]
POPULATION 713777
Detroit residents including those in Cody-Rouge experience
increased morbidity (illness) and mortality (death) from
chronic diseases like asthma obesity diabetes and
hypertension (high blood pressure) compared to the rest of
the State of Michigan In fact this area has some of the
highest rates of end-stage renal disease (kidney failure) in
the country due to poorly managed type 2 diabetes and
hypertension The good news is that most of this excess
illness and disease can be prevented The sooner we teach
young folks (and their families) how to maintain healthy
lifestyles the better the long-term outcomes will be

Tiyatien Health
GlobeMed at the University of Michigan ndash Ann Arbor
[Why community
health workers]Tiyatien Healthrsquos community health
workers (or ldquoaccompaniersrdquo) make up
the backbone of the organizationrsquos
community-based efforts to promote
the health and fundamental rights of
those living in rural Liberia Tiyatien
Healthrsquos accompaniers bridge the
enormous gap between the destitute
sick and essential health and social
services The accompaniers deliver
life-saving medications directly to their
communities refer patients to more
advanced medical care if needed and
provide vital health lessons and
psychosocial support
Our chapter is supporting Tiyatien Healths
community health worker program in Zwedru
LiberiaThe GlobeMed chapters project with Tiyatien Health aimed to
enable 40 Liberian accompaniers to earn a living while providing
vital health services and social support to patients in and around
Zwedru Liberia Results show that patients with long-term care
have 60 better health outcomes than patients without long-term
care and Tiyatien Health deploys accompaniers to provide long-
term care and support to individuals in Southeast Liberia living with
HIVAIDS tuberculosis epilepsy and depression The health
outcomes of this program will be documented and the program will
be used as a model for future community-based health initiatives
across all of Liberia

[Why community
health]In the United States clinical health
care is a relatively minor health
determinant accounting for about 20
of health outcomes Behavioral
environmental and socioeconomic
factors account for an additional 80
of health outcomes These factors play
a huge role in driving health
inequalities within underserved urban
communities This is especially
apparent in areas of Detroit with little
economic development and few
sources of healthy foods (ldquofood
desertsrdquo) The JSCDC takes a broad
approach to health and addresses
these root causes of illness Our chapter is augmenting the JSCDCs
urban environmental model of health in
Detroit Michigan through education and
community engagementOur GlobeMed chapterrsquos project with the Joy-
Southfield Community Development Corporation
aimed to complement the JSCDCrsquos broad approach to
health promotion Our chapter helped to plan and lead
healthy eating and living classes that provided
attending community members with healthy cooking
demonstrations recipes and sources of physical
activity for both adults and children Additionally we
helped to develop and expand the Sowing Seeds
Growing Futures Farmerrsquos Market as well as its two
nearby community gardens Through these sustainable
health education initiatives our GlobeMed chapter and
the JSCDC hope to change the way people think about
their health their well-being and their community

Campaign
YEAR-LONG
The 40 with 40 year-long
campaign was the campaign
through which the GlobeMed
chapter rallied the support of
individuals to support its
project with Tiyatien Health
Tiyatien Health employs 40
community health workers
(ldquoaccompaniersrdquo) to disperse
life-saving health services all
around Southeast Liberia
Each of these 40
accompaniers was paired
with one of the 40 GlobeMed
members at the University of
Michigan in order to galvanize
a personal sense of solidarity
between students in Ann
Arbor and THrsquos accompaniers
in Zwedru Liberia
HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE YEAR
GLOBALHEALTHU
While most of our weekly discussions were based on
a set network-wide curriculum and centered on
global health issues prevalent in developing nations
we were fortunate to have our Joy-Southfield
Coordinators lead a couple sessions on health
problems in Detroit They were able to use examples
from our work with JSCDC and even placed the
issues we currently address into the context of
Detroitrsquos political history
Finally globalhealthU sessions served not only to
educate members about current events and debates
concerning global health but also for members to
inspire each other to think about prevalent and
potentially controversial issues from different
perspectives GlobeMed is unique in this respect
because it provides a forum for open discussion on
issues only skimmed over in classes and gives
students the opportunity to think critically about
current health initiatives
globalhealthU is a GlobeMed
designed curriculum that enables
students to develop a critical
understanding of issues in global
health and apply this knowledge
to their work with communities
around the world

Screening of Grown in
Detroit
DECEMBER 1 2010
The award-winning
documentary Grown in
Detroit spotlights a school for
pregnant women and single
mothers especially important
as most income-generating
opportunities are closed to
them Because of limited
access to fresh food and a
paucity of jobs in Detroit the
school combines business
and agriculture education so
women can create their own
opportunities to support their
families As our project with
JSCDC involves urban
gardening this was a great
way to expose our peers to
other gardening initiatives in
Detroit

OF COMMUNITY BUILDING EVENTS
Our chapterrsquos community building activities primarily
consisted of fostering friendships and solidarity within
our chapter Ultimately our social events allowed
members to connect outside of fundraisers and
globalhealthU sessions and led to a more cohesive and
friendly atmosphere within which we could work to
support our partner organizations In addition to this we
were able to learn from each otherrsquos personal
experiences which made being a part of the GlobeMed
network even more rewarding

WORLD DAY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE
GLOBEMED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN ndash ANN ARBOR
joined 31 other GlobeMed chapters across the nation in a network-wide
commemoration of the 3rd Annual World Day of Social Justice on February
20 2011 by asking students professors and community members on
campus an open-ended thought provoking question relating to social
justice
OUR QUESTION You donrsquot have to be rich to give you just have tohellip
BEHIND THE SCENES Many have been compelled to action by the
concept of ldquothe white manrsquos burdenrdquo with the underlying logic that those
who are privileged should help those who are not However our chapter
wanted to contradict the perception that being able to help is dependent on
being financially wealthy We wanted our peers to think about ways to aid
others that did not involve donating money so as to inspire creative
methods of furthering worthy causes as well as increase involvement in
efforts to alleviate the maladies plaguing our world today
The source and inspiration for this was a quote by Dharma Master Cheng
Yen ldquoGiving is not the privilege of the rich ndash it is the privilege of the
sincererdquo

OUR FUTURE
Over the summer of 2011 the GlobeMed at the University
of Michigan chapter completed our first grassroots on-site
work (GROW) internships with Tiyatien Health in Zwedru
Liberia and with the Joy-Southfield Community Development
Corporation in Detroit Michigan The GROW interns will be
able to bring back much deeper understandings of our
chapterrsquos partner organizations to the rest of our GlobeMed
chapter as well as a renewed sense of purpose and solidarity
for our partnerships Through these GROW internships our
chapter has made incredibly deep personal connections to
our partner organizations that will continue to develop in the
years to come
During the 2011-2012 academic year our GlobeMed chapter
will focus greatly on fostering personal connections to the
communities that our partner organizations serve This will
further reinforce our partnerships and provide a solid
foundation on which successful fundraising and advocacy
initiatives can occur Additionally we will continue to
collaborate with and emphasize the work of our Detroit-based
partner promoting the fact that global health does not
transcend our local communities It is through the
development of these partnerships that the GlobeMed
network is able to function as a pipeline for new and
innovative leaders in global health and social justice
Our GlobeMed chapter will continue to build off of the
generous support provided by both individuals and
organizations Please visit httpwwwrazoocomstoryGlobe-
Med-At-University-Of-Michigan-40-With-40 to support our
chapterrsquos future work with our partner organizations in Liberia
and in Detroit and to help drive the student movement for
global health equity and social justice

21 THANK YOU
Dear friends
The 2010-2011 academic year has proven that the members
of GlobeMed at the University of Michigan have the courage
to match their big dreams and even bigger hearts
Throughout the year they jumped on any opportunity that
might turn their ideals into tangible progress matched with
the maturity to honestly reflect on those actions and improve
their strategy
Progress however could not have been possible without a
commitment to partnership partnership with the Joy-
Southfield Community Development Corporation in Detroit
Michigan and Tiyatien Health in Zwedru Liberia partnership
with the University of Michigan and finally partnership or
rather friendship with each other The community borne from
ties of friendship becomes a formidable force when in pursuit
of an ideal so when these ties stretch from within us to our
neighbors to halfway around the world imagine the potential
our far-reaching amity holds As a Rwandan proverb says
ldquoTo go fast walk alone To go far walk togetherrdquo
In the following pages we share with you the work we have
done this past year I ask however that you not focus too
much on the facts presented but on the unwritten
achievements we are now able to accomplish because of
them On our part we will strive to use our past not as a
map but as a lens with which to guide the future so as to
build a strong foundation from which future members will
grow My greatest hope is that this becomes the over-arching
mentality in striving for health equity
Thank you for your support and belief in our work
In solidarity

ABOUT US
GlobeMed at the University of Michigan ndash Ann Arbor
GlobeMed at the University of
Michigan is a reincarnation of
the Global Medical Relief
Program (GMRP) In 2006
leaders from UMrsquos GMRP
chapter had met with those
spearheading a reevaluation of
GMRPrsquos mission helping to
develop their new model for
addressing issues of global
health GlobeMed A partnership
with the Joy-Southfield
Community Development
Corporation (JSCDC) in Detroit
Michigan began immediately in
2006 By 2007 GlobeMed at
UM had started its global
partnership with the Mali Health
Organizing Project (MHOP)
In 2009 the partnership with
MHOP came to an end and a
new relationship was formed
with Tiyatien Health (TH) based
in Zwedru Liberia Since 2009
GlobeMed at UM has grown
tremendously raising over
$16000 for TH starting three
community gardens and a
farmerrsquos market in Detroit and
nearly quadrupling its
membership to accomplish all of
the above

KEY FACT In 2003 the end of
the civil war Liberia was left with
50 government medical doctors
KEY FACT Liberia has an
unemployment rate of 85 due
in part to lack of infrastructure
and opportunities
[About Tiyatien Health]
FOUNDED IN 2007
Tiyatien Health (TH) was founded by survivors of
Liberiarsquos civil war in 2007 when the urgent need for
community-based health care was realized TH believes
that the sustainable rebuilding of Liberia relies greatly on
the promotion of healthcare and the fundamental rights
of the rural poor The GlobeMed chapter at the
University of Michigan felt immediately connected with
Tiyatien Healthrsquos grassroots community-based model
when their partnership began in the fall of 2009 Since
beginning its partnership the GlobeMed chapter has
supported THrsquos initiatives involving micro financing and
its core community health worker program In addition to
these project areas TH also focuses on the areas of
mental health psychosocial support economic
development and womenrsquos empowerment
[WORKS IN ZWEDRU GRAND GEDEH
COUNTY LIBERIA]
POPULATION 23903
Liberia has recently emerged from a 14-year civil war that left
the country with intense poverty and a fractured health care
delivery system Since the war Liberia has been rebuilding
its health infrastructure and increasing its capacity for
providing comprehensive healthcare The town of Zwedru
where Tiyatien Health is based is located in rural Southeast
Liberia where sources of basic health services are sparse
The largest hospital in Southeast Liberia is located in Zwedru
and its patients often travel for hours on foot to receive basic
healthcare

[About Joy-Southfield Community
Development Corporation]
FOUNDED IN 2001
The Joy-Southfield Community Development
Corporation (JSCDC) was founded in the basement of
Second Grace United Methodist Church in 2001 with a
mission of neighborhood revitalization through family
life-skill support and community economic development
Its health and education center has grown to provide
free healthcare and prevention resources to the un- and
under-insured living in the Cody-Rouge community of
Detroit Michigan The JSCDC utilizes an environmental
model of health that is based on the idea that the
reduction of environmental risk factors to health is
essential for community health and that access to health
should not be determined by where one lives The
partnership between the JSCDC and the GlobeMed
chapter at the University of Michigan began in 2006 and
since then the GlobeMed chapter has been helping to
coordinate and lead health workshops for Detroit
families along with aiding the establishment of a
farmerrsquos market and two community gardens
[WORKS IN DETROIT MICHIGAN]
POPULATION 713777
Detroit residents including those in Cody-Rouge experience
increased morbidity (illness) and mortality (death) from
chronic diseases like asthma obesity diabetes and
hypertension (high blood pressure) compared to the rest of
the State of Michigan In fact this area has some of the
highest rates of end-stage renal disease (kidney failure) in
the country due to poorly managed type 2 diabetes and
hypertension The good news is that most of this excess
illness and disease can be prevented The sooner we teach
young folks (and their families) how to maintain healthy
lifestyles the better the long-term outcomes will be

Tiyatien Health
GlobeMed at the University of Michigan ndash Ann Arbor
[Why community
health workers]Tiyatien Healthrsquos community health
workers (or ldquoaccompaniersrdquo) make up
the backbone of the organizationrsquos
community-based efforts to promote
the health and fundamental rights of
those living in rural Liberia Tiyatien
Healthrsquos accompaniers bridge the
enormous gap between the destitute
sick and essential health and social
services The accompaniers deliver
life-saving medications directly to their
communities refer patients to more
advanced medical care if needed and
provide vital health lessons and
psychosocial support
Our chapter is supporting Tiyatien Healths
community health worker program in Zwedru
LiberiaThe GlobeMed chapters project with Tiyatien Health aimed to
enable 40 Liberian accompaniers to earn a living while providing
vital health services and social support to patients in and around
Zwedru Liberia Results show that patients with long-term care
have 60 better health outcomes than patients without long-term
care and Tiyatien Health deploys accompaniers to provide long-
term care and support to individuals in Southeast Liberia living with
HIVAIDS tuberculosis epilepsy and depression The health
outcomes of this program will be documented and the program will
be used as a model for future community-based health initiatives
across all of Liberia

[Why community
health]In the United States clinical health
care is a relatively minor health
determinant accounting for about 20
of health outcomes Behavioral
environmental and socioeconomic
factors account for an additional 80
of health outcomes These factors play
a huge role in driving health
inequalities within underserved urban
communities This is especially
apparent in areas of Detroit with little
economic development and few
sources of healthy foods (ldquofood
desertsrdquo) The JSCDC takes a broad
approach to health and addresses
these root causes of illness Our chapter is augmenting the JSCDCs
urban environmental model of health in
Detroit Michigan through education and
community engagementOur GlobeMed chapterrsquos project with the Joy-
Southfield Community Development Corporation
aimed to complement the JSCDCrsquos broad approach to
health promotion Our chapter helped to plan and lead
healthy eating and living classes that provided
attending community members with healthy cooking
demonstrations recipes and sources of physical
activity for both adults and children Additionally we
helped to develop and expand the Sowing Seeds
Growing Futures Farmerrsquos Market as well as its two
nearby community gardens Through these sustainable
health education initiatives our GlobeMed chapter and
the JSCDC hope to change the way people think about
their health their well-being and their community

Tiyatien Health employs 40
community health workers
(ldquoaccompaniersrdquo) to disperse
life-saving health services all
around Southeast Liberia
Each of these 40
accompaniers was paired
with one of the 40 GlobeMed
members at the University of
Michigan in order to galvanize
a personal sense of solidarity
between students in Ann
Arbor and THrsquos accompaniers
in Zwedru Liberia
HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE YEAR
GLOBALHEALTHU
While most of our weekly discussions were based on
a set network-wide curriculum and centered on
global health issues prevalent in developing nations
we were fortunate to have our Joy-Southfield
Coordinators lead a couple sessions on health
problems in Detroit They were able to use examples
from our work with JSCDC and even placed the
issues we currently address into the context of
Detroitrsquos political history
Finally globalhealthU sessions served not only to
educate members about current events and debates
concerning global health but also for members to
inspire each other to think about prevalent and
potentially controversial issues from different
perspectives GlobeMed is unique in this respect
because it provides a forum for open discussion on
issues only skimmed over in classes and gives
students the opportunity to think critically about
current health initiatives
globalhealthU is a GlobeMed
designed curriculum that enables
students to develop a critical
understanding of issues in global
health and apply this knowledge
to their work with communities
around the world

Screening of Grown in

DECEMBER 1 2010
The award-winning
documentary Grown in
Detroit spotlights a school for
pregnant women and single
mothers especially important
as most income-generating
opportunities are closed to
them Because of limited
access to fresh food and a
paucity of jobs in Detroit the
school combines business
and agriculture education so
women can create their own
opportunities to support their
families As our project with
JSCDC involves urban
gardening this was a great
way to expose our peers to

OF COMMUNITY BUILDING EVENTS
Our chapterrsquos community building activities primarily
consisted of fostering friendships and solidarity within
our chapter Ultimately our social events allowed
members to connect outside of fundraisers and
globalhealthU sessions and led to a more cohesive and
friendly atmosphere within which we could work to
support our partner organizations In addition to this we
were able to learn from each otherrsquos personal
experiences which made being a part of the GlobeMed

WORLD DAY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE
GLOBEMED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN ndash ANN ARBOR
joined 31 other GlobeMed chapters across the nation in a network-wide
commemoration of the 3rd Annual World Day of Social Justice on February
20 2011 by asking students professors and community members on
campus an open-ended thought provoking question relating to social
justice
OUR QUESTION You donrsquot have to be rich to give you just have tohellip
BEHIND THE SCENES Many have been compelled to action by the
concept of ldquothe white manrsquos burdenrdquo with the underlying logic that those
who are privileged should help those who are not However our chapter
wanted to contradict the perception that being able to help is dependent on
being financially wealthy We wanted our peers to think about ways to aid
others that did not involve donating money so as to inspire creative
methods of furthering worthy causes as well as increase involvement in
efforts to alleviate the maladies plaguing our world today
The source and inspiration for this was a quote by Dharma Master Cheng

OUR FUTURE
Over the summer of 2011 the GlobeMed at the University
of Michigan chapter completed our first grassroots on-site
work (GROW) internships with Tiyatien Health in Zwedru
Liberia and with the Joy-Southfield Community Development
Corporation in Detroit Michigan The GROW interns will be
able to bring back much deeper understandings of our
chapterrsquos partner organizations to the rest of our GlobeMed
chapter as well as a renewed sense of purpose and solidarity
for our partnerships Through these GROW internships our
chapter has made incredibly deep personal connections to
our partner organizations that will continue to develop in the
years to come
During the 2011-2012 academic year our GlobeMed chapter
will focus greatly on fostering personal connections to the
communities that our partner organizations serve This will
further reinforce our partnerships and provide a solid
foundation on which successful fundraising and advocacy
initiatives can occur Additionally we will continue to
collaborate with and emphasize the work of our Detroit-based
partner promoting the fact that global health does not
transcend our local communities It is through the
development of these partnerships that the GlobeMed
network is able to function as a pipeline for new and
innovative leaders in global health and social justice
Our GlobeMed chapter will continue to build off of the
generous support provided by both individuals and
organizations Please visit httpwwwrazoocomstoryGlobe-
Med-At-University-Of-Michigan-40-With-40 to support our
chapterrsquos future work with our partner organizations in Liberia
and in Detroit and to help drive the student movement for
global health equity and social justice
GlobeMed opened my eyes to the health disparities that exist both locally and
abroad while our chapter addressed specific contextualized issues of social
injustice By challenging the fundamental understanding of health GlobeMed
transformed my unmolded passion for the health sciences further shaping a
lifelong passion in the field of medicineldquo ndash Jeremy Kratz co 2011

21 THANK YOU
Dear friends
The 2010-2011 academic year has proven that the members
of GlobeMed at the University of Michigan have the courage
to match their big dreams and even bigger hearts
Throughout the year they jumped on any opportunity that
might turn their ideals into tangible progress matched with
the maturity to honestly reflect on those actions and improve
their strategy
Progress however could not have been possible without a
commitment to partnership partnership with the Joy-
Southfield Community Development Corporation in Detroit
Michigan and Tiyatien Health in Zwedru Liberia partnership
with the University of Michigan and finally partnership or
rather friendship with each other The community borne from
ties of friendship becomes a formidable force when in pursuit
of an ideal so when these ties stretch from within us to our
neighbors to halfway around the world imagine the potential
our far-reaching amity holds As a Rwandan proverb says
ldquoTo go fast walk alone To go far walk togetherrdquo
In the following pages we share with you the work we have
done this past year I ask however that you not focus too
much on the facts presented but on the unwritten
achievements we are now able to accomplish because of
them On our part we will strive to use our past not as a
map but as a lens with which to guide the future so as to
build a strong foundation from which future members will
grow My greatest hope is that this becomes the over-arching
mentality in striving for health equity
Thank you for your support and belief in our work
In solidarity

ABOUT US
GlobeMed at the University of Michigan ndash Ann Arbor
GlobeMed at the University of
Michigan is a reincarnation of
the Global Medical Relief
Program (GMRP) In 2006
leaders from UMrsquos GMRP
chapter had met with those
spearheading a reevaluation of
GMRPrsquos mission helping to
develop their new model for
addressing issues of global
health GlobeMed A partnership
with the Joy-Southfield
Community Development
Corporation (JSCDC) in Detroit
Michigan began immediately in
2006 By 2007 GlobeMed at
UM had started its global
partnership with the Mali Health
Organizing Project (MHOP)
In 2009 the partnership with
MHOP came to an end and a
new relationship was formed
with Tiyatien Health (TH) based
in Zwedru Liberia Since 2009
GlobeMed at UM has grown
tremendously raising over
$16000 for TH starting three
community gardens and a
farmerrsquos market in Detroit and
nearly quadrupling its
membership to accomplish all of
the above

TIYATIEN HEALTH
KEY FACT In 2003 the end of
the civil war Liberia was left with
50 government medical doctors
KEY FACT Liberia has an
unemployment rate of 85 due
in part to lack of infrastructure
and opportunities
[About Tiyatien Health]
FOUNDED IN 2007
Tiyatien Health (TH) was founded by survivors of
Liberiarsquos civil war in 2007 when the urgent need for
community-based health care was realized TH believes
that the sustainable rebuilding of Liberia relies greatly on
the promotion of healthcare and the fundamental rights
of the rural poor The GlobeMed chapter at the
University of Michigan felt immediately connected with
Tiyatien Healthrsquos grassroots community-based model
when their partnership began in the fall of 2009 Since
beginning its partnership the GlobeMed chapter has
supported THrsquos initiatives involving micro financing and
its core community health worker program In addition to
these project areas TH also focuses on the areas of
mental health psychosocial support economic
development and womenrsquos empowerment
[WORKS IN ZWEDRU GRAND GEDEH
COUNTY LIBERIA]
POPULATION 23903
Liberia has recently emerged from a 14-year civil war that left
the country with intense poverty and a fractured health care
delivery system Since the war Liberia has been rebuilding
its health infrastructure and increasing its capacity for
providing comprehensive healthcare The town of Zwedru
where Tiyatien Health is based is located in rural Southeast
Liberia where sources of basic health services are sparse
The largest hospital in Southeast Liberia is located in Zwedru
and its patients often travel for hours on foot to receive basic
healthcare

KEY FACT In the Detroit area
childhood obesity and

higher than the national average
KEY FACT The childhood

make this the first generation to
experience a shorter life
expectancy than their parents
[About Joy-Southfield Community
Development Corporation]
FOUNDED IN 2001
The Joy-Southfield Community Development
Corporation (JSCDC) was founded in the basement of
Second Grace United Methodist Church in 2001 with a
mission of neighborhood revitalization through family
life-skill support and community economic development
Its health and education center has grown to provide
free healthcare and prevention resources to the un- and
under-insured living in the Cody-Rouge community of
Detroit Michigan The JSCDC utilizes an environmental
model of health that is based on the idea that the
reduction of environmental risk factors to health is
essential for community health and that access to health
should not be determined by where one lives The
partnership between the JSCDC and the GlobeMed
chapter at the University of Michigan began in 2006 and
since then the GlobeMed chapter has been helping to
coordinate and lead health workshops for Detroit
families along with aiding the establishment of a
farmerrsquos market and two community gardens
[WORKS IN DETROIT MICHIGAN]
POPULATION 713777
Detroit residents including those in Cody-Rouge experience
increased morbidity (illness) and mortality (death) from
chronic diseases like asthma obesity diabetes and
hypertension (high blood pressure) compared to the rest of
the State of Michigan In fact this area has some of the
highest rates of end-stage renal disease (kidney failure) in
the country due to poorly managed type 2 diabetes and
hypertension The good news is that most of this excess
illness and disease can be prevented The sooner we teach
young folks (and their families) how to maintain healthy
lifestyles the better the long-term outcomes will be

[Why community
health workers]Tiyatien Healthrsquos community health
workers (or ldquoaccompaniersrdquo) make up
the backbone of the organizationrsquos
community-based efforts to promote
the health and fundamental rights of
those living in rural Liberia Tiyatien
Healthrsquos accompaniers bridge the
enormous gap between the destitute
sick and essential health and social
services The accompaniers deliver
life-saving medications directly to their
communities refer patients to more
advanced medical care if needed and
provide vital health lessons and
psychosocial support
Our chapter is supporting Tiyatien Healths
community health worker program in Zwedru
LiberiaThe GlobeMed chapters project with Tiyatien Health aimed to
enable 40 Liberian accompaniers to earn a living while providing
vital health services and social support to patients in and around
Zwedru Liberia Results show that patients with long-term care
have 60 better health outcomes than patients without long-term
care and Tiyatien Health deploys accompaniers to provide long-
term care and support to individuals in Southeast Liberia living with
HIVAIDS tuberculosis epilepsy and depression The health
outcomes of this program will be documented and the program will
be used as a model for future community-based health initiatives
across all of Liberia

[Why community
health]In the United States clinical health
care is a relatively minor health
determinant accounting for about 20
of health outcomes Behavioral
environmental and socioeconomic
factors account for an additional 80
of health outcomes These factors play
a huge role in driving health
inequalities within underserved urban
communities This is especially
apparent in areas of Detroit with little
economic development and few
sources of healthy foods (ldquofood
desertsrdquo) The JSCDC takes a broad
approach to health and addresses
these root causes of illness Our chapter is augmenting the JSCDCs
urban environmental model of health in
Detroit Michigan through education and
community engagementOur GlobeMed chapterrsquos project with the Joy-
Southfield Community Development Corporation
aimed to complement the JSCDCrsquos broad approach to
health promotion Our chapter helped to plan and lead
healthy eating and living classes that provided
attending community members with healthy cooking
demonstrations recipes and sources of physical
activity for both adults and children Additionally we
helped to develop and expand the Sowing Seeds
Growing Futures Farmerrsquos Market as well as its two
nearby community gardens Through these sustainable
health education initiatives our GlobeMed chapter and
the JSCDC hope to change the way people think about
their health their well-being and their community

(ldquoaccompaniersrdquo) to disperse
life-saving health services all
around Southeast Liberia
Each of these 40
accompaniers was paired
with one of the 40 GlobeMed
members at the University of
Michigan in order to galvanize
a personal sense of solidarity
between students in Ann
Arbor and THrsquos accompaniers
in Zwedru Liberia
HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE YEAR
GLOBALHEALTHU
While most of our weekly discussions were based on
a set network-wide curriculum and centered on
global health issues prevalent in developing nations
we were fortunate to have our Joy-Southfield
Coordinators lead a couple sessions on health
problems in Detroit They were able to use examples
from our work with JSCDC and even placed the
issues we currently address into the context of
Detroitrsquos political history
Finally globalhealthU sessions served not only to
educate members about current events and debates
concerning global health but also for members to
inspire each other to think about prevalent and
potentially controversial issues from different
perspectives GlobeMed is unique in this respect
because it provides a forum for open discussion on
issues only skimmed over in classes and gives
students the opportunity to think critically about
current health initiatives
globalhealthU is a GlobeMed
designed curriculum that enables
students to develop a critical
understanding of issues in global
health and apply this knowledge
to their work with communities
around the world

Screening of Grown in
Detroit
DECEMBER 1 2010
The award-winning
documentary Grown in
Detroit spotlights a school for
pregnant women and single
mothers especially important
as most income-generating
opportunities are closed to
them Because of limited
access to fresh food and a
paucity of jobs in Detroit the
school combines business
and agriculture education so
women can create their own
opportunities to support their
families As our project with
JSCDC involves urban
gardening this was a great
way to expose our peers to
other gardening initiatives in
Detroit

WORLD DAY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE
GLOBEMED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN ndash ANN ARBOR
joined 31 other GlobeMed chapters across the nation in a network-wide
commemoration of the 3rd Annual World Day of Social Justice on February
20 2011 by asking students professors and community members on
campus an open-ended thought provoking question relating to social
justice
OUR QUESTION You donrsquot have to be rich to give you just have tohellip
BEHIND THE SCENES Many have been compelled to action by the
concept of ldquothe white manrsquos burdenrdquo with the underlying logic that those
who are privileged should help those who are not However our chapter
wanted to contradict the perception that being able to help is dependent on
being financially wealthy We wanted our peers to think about ways to aid
others that did not involve donating money so as to inspire creative
methods of furthering worthy causes as well as increase involvement in
efforts to alleviate the maladies plaguing our world today
The source and inspiration for this was a quote by Dharma Master Cheng
Yen ldquoGiving is not the privilege of the rich ndash it is the privilege of the
sincererdquo

OUR FUTURE
Over the summer of 2011 the GlobeMed at the University
of Michigan chapter completed our first grassroots on-site
work (GROW) internships with Tiyatien Health in Zwedru
Liberia and with the Joy-Southfield Community Development
Corporation in Detroit Michigan The GROW interns will be
able to bring back much deeper understandings of our
chapterrsquos partner organizations to the rest of our GlobeMed
chapter as well as a renewed sense of purpose and solidarity
for our partnerships Through these GROW internships our
chapter has made incredibly deep personal connections to
our partner organizations that will continue to develop in the
years to come
During the 2011-2012 academic year our GlobeMed chapter
will focus greatly on fostering personal connections to the
communities that our partner organizations serve This will
further reinforce our partnerships and provide a solid
foundation on which successful fundraising and advocacy
initiatives can occur Additionally we will continue to
collaborate with and emphasize the work of our Detroit-based
partner promoting the fact that global health does not
transcend our local communities It is through the
development of these partnerships that the GlobeMed
network is able to function as a pipeline for new and
innovative leaders in global health and social justice
Our GlobeMed chapter will continue to build off of the
generous support provided by both individuals and
organizations Please visit httpwwwrazoocomstoryGlobe-

GlobeMed opened my eyes to the health disparities that exist both locally and
abroad while our chapter addressed specific contextualized issues of social
injustice By challenging the fundamental understanding of health GlobeMed

ABOUT US
GlobeMed at the University of Michigan ndash Ann Arbor
GlobeMed at the University of
Michigan is a reincarnation of
the Global Medical Relief
Program (GMRP) In 2006
leaders from UMrsquos GMRP
chapter had met with those
spearheading a reevaluation of
GMRPrsquos mission helping to
develop their new model for
addressing issues of global
health GlobeMed A partnership
with the Joy-Southfield
Community Development
Corporation (JSCDC) in Detroit
Michigan began immediately in
2006 By 2007 GlobeMed at
UM had started its global
partnership with the Mali Health
Organizing Project (MHOP)
In 2009 the partnership with
MHOP came to an end and a
new relationship was formed
with Tiyatien Health (TH) based
in Zwedru Liberia Since 2009
GlobeMed at UM has grown
tremendously raising over
$16000 for TH starting three
community gardens and a
farmerrsquos market in Detroit and
nearly quadrupling its
membership to accomplish all of
the above

TIYATIEN HEALTH
KEY FACT In 2003 the end of
the civil war Liberia was left with
50 government medical doctors
KEY FACT Liberia has an
unemployment rate of 85 due
in part to lack of infrastructure
and opportunities
[About Tiyatien Health]
FOUNDED IN 2007
Tiyatien Health (TH) was founded by survivors of
Liberiarsquos civil war in 2007 when the urgent need for
community-based health care was realized TH believes
that the sustainable rebuilding of Liberia relies greatly on
the promotion of healthcare and the fundamental rights
of the rural poor The GlobeMed chapter at the
University of Michigan felt immediately connected with
Tiyatien Healthrsquos grassroots community-based model
when their partnership began in the fall of 2009 Since
beginning its partnership the GlobeMed chapter has
supported THrsquos initiatives involving micro financing and
its core community health worker program In addition to
these project areas TH also focuses on the areas of
mental health psychosocial support economic
development and womenrsquos empowerment
[WORKS IN ZWEDRU GRAND GEDEH
COUNTY LIBERIA]
POPULATION 23903
Liberia has recently emerged from a 14-year civil war that left
the country with intense poverty and a fractured health care
delivery system Since the war Liberia has been rebuilding
its health infrastructure and increasing its capacity for
providing comprehensive healthcare The town of Zwedru
where Tiyatien Health is based is located in rural Southeast
Liberia where sources of basic health services are sparse
The largest hospital in Southeast Liberia is located in Zwedru
and its patients often travel for hours on foot to receive basic
healthcare

[About Joy-Southfield Community
Development Corporation]
FOUNDED IN 2001
The Joy-Southfield Community Development
Corporation (JSCDC) was founded in the basement of
Second Grace United Methodist Church in 2001 with a
mission of neighborhood revitalization through family
life-skill support and community economic development
Its health and education center has grown to provide
free healthcare and prevention resources to the un- and
under-insured living in the Cody-Rouge community of
Detroit Michigan The JSCDC utilizes an environmental
model of health that is based on the idea that the
reduction of environmental risk factors to health is
essential for community health and that access to health
should not be determined by where one lives The
partnership between the JSCDC and the GlobeMed
chapter at the University of Michigan began in 2006 and
since then the GlobeMed chapter has been helping to
coordinate and lead health workshops for Detroit
families along with aiding the establishment of a
farmerrsquos market and two community gardens
[WORKS IN DETROIT MICHIGAN]
POPULATION 713777
Detroit residents including those in Cody-Rouge experience
increased morbidity (illness) and mortality (death) from
chronic diseases like asthma obesity diabetes and
hypertension (high blood pressure) compared to the rest of
the State of Michigan In fact this area has some of the
highest rates of end-stage renal disease (kidney failure) in
the country due to poorly managed type 2 diabetes and
hypertension The good news is that most of this excess
illness and disease can be prevented The sooner we teach
young folks (and their families) how to maintain healthy
lifestyles the better the long-term outcomes will be

[Why community
health workers]Tiyatien Healthrsquos community health
workers (or ldquoaccompaniersrdquo) make up
the backbone of the organizationrsquos
community-based efforts to promote
the health and fundamental rights of
those living in rural Liberia Tiyatien
Healthrsquos accompaniers bridge the
enormous gap between the destitute
sick and essential health and social
services The accompaniers deliver
life-saving medications directly to their
communities refer patients to more
advanced medical care if needed and
provide vital health lessons and
psychosocial support
Our chapter is supporting Tiyatien Healths
community health worker program in Zwedru
LiberiaThe GlobeMed chapters project with Tiyatien Health aimed to
enable 40 Liberian accompaniers to earn a living while providing
vital health services and social support to patients in and around
Zwedru Liberia Results show that patients with long-term care
have 60 better health outcomes than patients without long-term
care and Tiyatien Health deploys accompaniers to provide long-
term care and support to individuals in Southeast Liberia living with
HIVAIDS tuberculosis epilepsy and depression The health
outcomes of this program will be documented and the program will
be used as a model for future community-based health initiatives
across all of Liberia

[Why community
health]In the United States clinical health
care is a relatively minor health
determinant accounting for about 20
of health outcomes Behavioral
environmental and socioeconomic
factors account for an additional 80
of health outcomes These factors play
a huge role in driving health
inequalities within underserved urban
communities This is especially
apparent in areas of Detroit with little
economic development and few
sources of healthy foods (ldquofood
desertsrdquo) The JSCDC takes a broad
approach to health and addresses
these root causes of illness Our chapter is augmenting the JSCDCs
urban environmental model of health in
Detroit Michigan through education and
community engagementOur GlobeMed chapterrsquos project with the Joy-
Southfield Community Development Corporation
aimed to complement the JSCDCrsquos broad approach to
health promotion Our chapter helped to plan and lead
healthy eating and living classes that provided
attending community members with healthy cooking
demonstrations recipes and sources of physical
activity for both adults and children Additionally we
helped to develop and expand the Sowing Seeds
Growing Futures Farmerrsquos Market as well as its two
nearby community gardens Through these sustainable
health education initiatives our GlobeMed chapter and
the JSCDC hope to change the way people think about
their health their well-being and their community

individuals to support its
project with Tiyatien Health
Tiyatien Health employs 40
community health workers
(ldquoaccompaniersrdquo) to disperse
life-saving health services all
around Southeast Liberia
Each of these 40
accompaniers was paired
with one of the 40 GlobeMed
members at the University of
Michigan in order to galvanize
a personal sense of solidarity
between students in Ann
Arbor and THrsquos accompaniers
in Zwedru Liberia
HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE YEAR
GLOBALHEALTHU
While most of our weekly discussions were based on
a set network-wide curriculum and centered on
global health issues prevalent in developing nations
we were fortunate to have our Joy-Southfield
Coordinators lead a couple sessions on health
problems in Detroit They were able to use examples
from our work with JSCDC and even placed the
issues we currently address into the context of
Detroitrsquos political history
Finally globalhealthU sessions served not only to
educate members about current events and debates
concerning global health but also for members to
inspire each other to think about prevalent and
potentially controversial issues from different
perspectives GlobeMed is unique in this respect
because it provides a forum for open discussion on
issues only skimmed over in classes and gives
students the opportunity to think critically about
current health initiatives
globalhealthU is a GlobeMed
designed curriculum that enables
students to develop a critical
understanding of issues in global
health and apply this knowledge
to their work with communities
around the world

Screening of Grown in
Detroit
DECEMBER 1 2010
The award-winning
documentary Grown in
Detroit spotlights a school for
pregnant women and single
mothers especially important
as most income-generating
opportunities are closed to
them Because of limited
access to fresh food and a
paucity of jobs in Detroit the
school combines business
and agriculture education so
women can create their own
opportunities to support their
families As our project with
JSCDC involves urban
gardening this was a great
way to expose our peers to
other gardening initiatives in

WORLD DAY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE
GLOBEMED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN ndash ANN ARBOR
joined 31 other GlobeMed chapters across the nation in a network-wide
commemoration of the 3rd Annual World Day of Social Justice on February
20 2011 by asking students professors and community members on
campus an open-ended thought provoking question relating to social
justice
OUR QUESTION You donrsquot have to be rich to give you just have tohellip
BEHIND THE SCENES Many have been compelled to action by the
concept of ldquothe white manrsquos burdenrdquo with the underlying logic that those
who are privileged should help those who are not However our chapter
wanted to contradict the perception that being able to help is dependent on
being financially wealthy We wanted our peers to think about ways to aid
others that did not involve donating money so as to inspire creative
methods of furthering worthy causes as well as increase involvement in
efforts to alleviate the maladies plaguing our world today
The source and inspiration for this was a quote by Dharma Master Cheng
Yen ldquoGiving is not the privilege of the rich ndash it is the privilege of the
sincererdquo

OUR FUTURE
Over the summer of 2011 the GlobeMed at the University
of Michigan chapter completed our first grassroots on-site
work (GROW) internships with Tiyatien Health in Zwedru
Liberia and with the Joy-Southfield Community Development
Corporation in Detroit Michigan The GROW interns will be
able to bring back much deeper understandings of our
chapterrsquos partner organizations to the rest of our GlobeMed
chapter as well as a renewed sense of purpose and solidarity
for our partnerships Through these GROW internships our
chapter has made incredibly deep personal connections to
our partner organizations that will continue to develop in the
years to come
During the 2011-2012 academic year our GlobeMed chapter
will focus greatly on fostering personal connections to the
communities that our partner organizations serve This will
further reinforce our partnerships and provide a solid
foundation on which successful fundraising and advocacy
initiatives can occur Additionally we will continue to
collaborate with and emphasize the work of our Detroit-based
partner promoting the fact that global health does not
transcend our local communities It is through the
development of these partnerships that the GlobeMed
network is able to function as a pipeline for new and
innovative leaders in global health and social justice
Our GlobeMed chapter will continue to build off of the
generous support provided by both individuals and
organizations Please visit httpwwwrazoocomstoryGlobe-
Med-At-University-Of-Michigan-40-With-40 to support our

abroad while our chapter addressed specific contextualized issues of social
injustice By challenging the fundamental understanding of health GlobeMed

ABOUT US
GlobeMed at the University of Michigan ndash Ann Arbor
GlobeMed at the University of
Michigan is a reincarnation of
the Global Medical Relief
Program (GMRP) In 2006
leaders from UMrsquos GMRP
chapter had met with those
spearheading a reevaluation of
GMRPrsquos mission helping to
develop their new model for
addressing issues of global
health GlobeMed A partnership
with the Joy-Southfield
Community Development
Corporation (JSCDC) in Detroit
Michigan began immediately in
2006 By 2007 GlobeMed at
UM had started its global
partnership with the Mali Health
Organizing Project (MHOP)
In 2009 the partnership with
MHOP came to an end and a
new relationship was formed
with Tiyatien Health (TH) based
in Zwedru Liberia Since 2009
GlobeMed at UM has grown
tremendously raising over
$16000 for TH starting three
community gardens and a
farmerrsquos market in Detroit and
nearly quadrupling its
membership to accomplish all of
the above

KEY FACT In 2003 the end of

and opportunities
[About Tiyatien Health]
FOUNDED IN 2007
Tiyatien Health (TH) was founded by survivors of
Liberiarsquos civil war in 2007 when the urgent need for
community-based health care was realized TH believes
that the sustainable rebuilding of Liberia relies greatly on
the promotion of healthcare and the fundamental rights
of the rural poor The GlobeMed chapter at the
University of Michigan felt immediately connected with
Tiyatien Healthrsquos grassroots community-based model
when their partnership began in the fall of 2009 Since
beginning its partnership the GlobeMed chapter has
supported THrsquos initiatives involving micro financing and
its core community health worker program In addition to
these project areas TH also focuses on the areas of
mental health psychosocial support economic
development and womenrsquos empowerment
[WORKS IN ZWEDRU GRAND GEDEH
COUNTY LIBERIA]
POPULATION 23903
Liberia has recently emerged from a 14-year civil war that left
the country with intense poverty and a fractured health care
delivery system Since the war Liberia has been rebuilding
its health infrastructure and increasing its capacity for
providing comprehensive healthcare The town of Zwedru
where Tiyatien Health is based is located in rural Southeast
Liberia where sources of basic health services are sparse
The largest hospital in Southeast Liberia is located in Zwedru
and its patients often travel for hours on foot to receive basic

[About Joy-Southfield Community
Development Corporation]
FOUNDED IN 2001
The Joy-Southfield Community Development
Corporation (JSCDC) was founded in the basement of
Second Grace United Methodist Church in 2001 with a
mission of neighborhood revitalization through family
life-skill support and community economic development
Its health and education center has grown to provide
free healthcare and prevention resources to the un- and
under-insured living in the Cody-Rouge community of
Detroit Michigan The JSCDC utilizes an environmental
model of health that is based on the idea that the
reduction of environmental risk factors to health is
essential for community health and that access to health
should not be determined by where one lives The
partnership between the JSCDC and the GlobeMed
chapter at the University of Michigan began in 2006 and
since then the GlobeMed chapter has been helping to
coordinate and lead health workshops for Detroit
families along with aiding the establishment of a
farmerrsquos market and two community gardens
[WORKS IN DETROIT MICHIGAN]
POPULATION 713777
Detroit residents including those in Cody-Rouge experience
increased morbidity (illness) and mortality (death) from
chronic diseases like asthma obesity diabetes and
hypertension (high blood pressure) compared to the rest of
the State of Michigan In fact this area has some of the
highest rates of end-stage renal disease (kidney failure) in
the country due to poorly managed type 2 diabetes and
hypertension The good news is that most of this excess
illness and disease can be prevented The sooner we teach
young folks (and their families) how to maintain healthy
lifestyles the better the long-term outcomes will be

[Why community
health workers]Tiyatien Healthrsquos community health
workers (or ldquoaccompaniersrdquo) make up
the backbone of the organizationrsquos
community-based efforts to promote
the health and fundamental rights of
those living in rural Liberia Tiyatien
Healthrsquos accompaniers bridge the
enormous gap between the destitute
sick and essential health and social
services The accompaniers deliver
life-saving medications directly to their
communities refer patients to more
advanced medical care if needed and
provide vital health lessons and
psychosocial support
Our chapter is supporting Tiyatien Healths
community health worker program in Zwedru
LiberiaThe GlobeMed chapters project with Tiyatien Health aimed to
enable 40 Liberian accompaniers to earn a living while providing
vital health services and social support to patients in and around
Zwedru Liberia Results show that patients with long-term care
have 60 better health outcomes than patients without long-term
care and Tiyatien Health deploys accompaniers to provide long-
term care and support to individuals in Southeast Liberia living with
HIVAIDS tuberculosis epilepsy and depression The health
outcomes of this program will be documented and the program will
be used as a model for future community-based health initiatives
across all of Liberia

[Why community
health]In the United States clinical health
care is a relatively minor health
determinant accounting for about 20
of health outcomes Behavioral
environmental and socioeconomic
factors account for an additional 80
of health outcomes These factors play
a huge role in driving health
inequalities within underserved urban
communities This is especially
apparent in areas of Detroit with little
economic development and few
sources of healthy foods (ldquofood

approach to health and addresses
these root causes of illness Our chapter is augmenting the JSCDCs
urban environmental model of health in
Detroit Michigan through education and
community engagementOur GlobeMed chapterrsquos project with the Joy-
Southfield Community Development Corporation
aimed to complement the JSCDCrsquos broad approach to
health promotion Our chapter helped to plan and lead
healthy eating and living classes that provided
attending community members with healthy cooking
demonstrations recipes and sources of physical
activity for both adults and children Additionally we
helped to develop and expand the Sowing Seeds

accompaniers was paired
with one of the 40 GlobeMed

a personal sense of solidarity
between students in Ann
Arbor and THrsquos accompaniers

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE YEAR
GLOBALHEALTHU
While most of our weekly discussions were based on
a set network-wide curriculum and centered on
global health issues prevalent in developing nations
we were fortunate to have our Joy-Southfield
Coordinators lead a couple sessions on health
problems in Detroit They were able to use examples
from our work with JSCDC and even placed the
issues we currently address into the context of
Detroitrsquos political history
Finally globalhealthU sessions served not only to
educate members about current events and debates
concerning global health but also for members to
inspire each other to think about prevalent and
potentially controversial issues from different
perspectives GlobeMed is unique in this respect
because it provides a forum for open discussion on
issues only skimmed over in classes and gives
students the opportunity to think critically about
current health initiatives
globalhealthU is a GlobeMed
designed curriculum that enables
students to develop a critical
understanding of issues in global
health and apply this knowledge
to their work with communities
around the world

Detroit spotlights a school for
pregnant women and single
mothers especially important
as most income-generating
opportunities are closed to
them Because of limited
access to fresh food and a
paucity of jobs in Detroit the
school combines business
and agriculture education so
women can create their own
opportunities to support their
families As our project with

OUR QUESTION You donrsquot have to be rich to give you just have tohellip
BEHIND THE SCENES Many have been compelled to action by the
concept of ldquothe white manrsquos burdenrdquo with the underlying logic that those
who are privileged should help those who are not However our chapter
wanted to contradict the perception that being able to help is dependent on
being financially wealthy We wanted our peers to think about ways to aid
others that did not involve donating money so as to inspire creative
methods of furthering worthy causes as well as increase involvement in
efforts to alleviate the maladies plaguing our world today
The source and inspiration for this was a quote by Dharma Master Cheng
Yen ldquoGiving is not the privilege of the rich ndash it is the privilege of the
sincererdquo

OUR FUTURE
Over the summer of 2011 the GlobeMed at the University
of Michigan chapter completed our first grassroots on-site
work (GROW) internships with Tiyatien Health in Zwedru
Liberia and with the Joy-Southfield Community Development
Corporation in Detroit Michigan The GROW interns will be
able to bring back much deeper understandings of our
chapterrsquos partner organizations to the rest of our GlobeMed
chapter as well as a renewed sense of purpose and solidarity
for our partnerships Through these GROW internships our
chapter has made incredibly deep personal connections to
our partner organizations that will continue to develop in the
years to come
During the 2011-2012 academic year our GlobeMed chapter
will focus greatly on fostering personal connections to the
communities that our partner organizations serve This will
further reinforce our partnerships and provide a solid
foundation on which successful fundraising and advocacy
initiatives can occur Additionally we will continue to
collaborate with and emphasize the work of our Detroit-based
partner promoting the fact that global health does not
transcend our local communities It is through the
development of these partnerships that the GlobeMed
network is able to function as a pipeline for new and
innovative leaders in global health and social justice
Our GlobeMed chapter will continue to build off of the
generous support provided by both individuals and
organizations Please visit httpwwwrazoocomstoryGlobe-
Med-At-University-Of-Michigan-40-With-40 to support our
chapterrsquos future work with our partner organizations in Liberia
and in Detroit and to help drive the student movement for
global health equity and social justice
GlobeMed opened my eyes to the health disparities that exist both locally and
abroad while our chapter addressed specific contextualized issues of social
injustice By challenging the fundamental understanding of health GlobeMed
transformed my unmolded passion for the health sciences further shaping a
lifelong passion in the field of medicineldquo ndash Jeremy Kratz co 2011

ABOUT US
GlobeMed at the University of Michigan ndash Ann Arbor
GlobeMed at the University of
Michigan is a reincarnation of
the Global Medical Relief
Program (GMRP) In 2006
leaders from UMrsquos GMRP
chapter had met with those
spearheading a reevaluation of
GMRPrsquos mission helping to
develop their new model for
addressing issues of global
health GlobeMed A partnership
with the Joy-Southfield
Community Development
Corporation (JSCDC) in Detroit
Michigan began immediately in
2006 By 2007 GlobeMed at
UM had started its global
partnership with the Mali Health
Organizing Project (MHOP)
In 2009 the partnership with
MHOP came to an end and a
new relationship was formed
with Tiyatien Health (TH) based
in Zwedru Liberia Since 2009
GlobeMed at UM has grown
tremendously raising over
$16000 for TH starting three
community gardens and a
farmerrsquos market in Detroit and
nearly quadrupling its
membership to accomplish all of
the above

TIYATIEN HEALTH
KEY FACT In 2003 the end of
the civil war Liberia was left with
50 government medical doctors
KEY FACT Liberia has an
unemployment rate of 85 due
in part to lack of infrastructure
and opportunities
[About Tiyatien Health]
FOUNDED IN 2007
Tiyatien Health (TH) was founded by survivors of
Liberiarsquos civil war in 2007 when the urgent need for
community-based health care was realized TH believes
that the sustainable rebuilding of Liberia relies greatly on
the promotion of healthcare and the fundamental rights
of the rural poor The GlobeMed chapter at the
University of Michigan felt immediately connected with
Tiyatien Healthrsquos grassroots community-based model
when their partnership began in the fall of 2009 Since
beginning its partnership the GlobeMed chapter has
supported THrsquos initiatives involving micro financing and
its core community health worker program In addition to
these project areas TH also focuses on the areas of
mental health psychosocial support economic
development and womenrsquos empowerment
[WORKS IN ZWEDRU GRAND GEDEH
COUNTY LIBERIA]
POPULATION 23903
Liberia has recently emerged from a 14-year civil war that left
the country with intense poverty and a fractured health care
delivery system Since the war Liberia has been rebuilding
its health infrastructure and increasing its capacity for
providing comprehensive healthcare The town of Zwedru
where Tiyatien Health is based is located in rural Southeast
Liberia where sources of basic health services are sparse
The largest hospital in Southeast Liberia is located in Zwedru
and its patients often travel for hours on foot to receive basic
healthcare

KEY FACT In the Detroit area
childhood obesity and

higher than the national average

make this the first generation to
experience a shorter life
expectancy than their parents
[About Joy-Southfield Community
Development Corporation]
FOUNDED IN 2001
The Joy-Southfield Community Development
Corporation (JSCDC) was founded in the basement of
Second Grace United Methodist Church in 2001 with a
mission of neighborhood revitalization through family
life-skill support and community economic development
Its health and education center has grown to provide
free healthcare and prevention resources to the un- and
under-insured living in the Cody-Rouge community of
Detroit Michigan The JSCDC utilizes an environmental
model of health that is based on the idea that the
reduction of environmental risk factors to health is
essential for community health and that access to health
should not be determined by where one lives The
partnership between the JSCDC and the GlobeMed
chapter at the University of Michigan began in 2006 and
since then the GlobeMed chapter has been helping to
coordinate and lead health workshops for Detroit
families along with aiding the establishment of a
farmerrsquos market and two community gardens
[WORKS IN DETROIT MICHIGAN]
POPULATION 713777
Detroit residents including those in Cody-Rouge experience
increased morbidity (illness) and mortality (death) from
chronic diseases like asthma obesity diabetes and
hypertension (high blood pressure) compared to the rest of
the State of Michigan In fact this area has some of the
highest rates of end-stage renal disease (kidney failure) in
the country due to poorly managed type 2 diabetes and
hypertension The good news is that most of this excess
illness and disease can be prevented The sooner we teach
young folks (and their families) how to maintain healthy
lifestyles the better the long-term outcomes will be

[Why community
health workers]Tiyatien Healthrsquos community health
workers (or ldquoaccompaniersrdquo) make up
the backbone of the organizationrsquos
community-based efforts to promote
the health and fundamental rights of
those living in rural Liberia Tiyatien
Healthrsquos accompaniers bridge the
enormous gap between the destitute
sick and essential health and social
services The accompaniers deliver
life-saving medications directly to their
communities refer patients to more
advanced medical care if needed and
provide vital health lessons and
psychosocial support
Our chapter is supporting Tiyatien Healths
community health worker program in Zwedru
LiberiaThe GlobeMed chapters project with Tiyatien Health aimed to
enable 40 Liberian accompaniers to earn a living while providing
vital health services and social support to patients in and around
Zwedru Liberia Results show that patients with long-term care
have 60 better health outcomes than patients without long-term
care and Tiyatien Health deploys accompaniers to provide long-
term care and support to individuals in Southeast Liberia living with
HIVAIDS tuberculosis epilepsy and depression The health
outcomes of this program will be documented and the program will
be used as a model for future community-based health initiatives
across all of Liberia

[Why community
health]In the United States clinical health
care is a relatively minor health
determinant accounting for about 20
of health outcomes Behavioral
environmental and socioeconomic
factors account for an additional 80
of health outcomes These factors play
a huge role in driving health
inequalities within underserved urban
communities This is especially
apparent in areas of Detroit with little
economic development and few
sources of healthy foods (ldquofood

approach to health and addresses
these root causes of illness Our chapter is augmenting the JSCDCs
urban environmental model of health in
Detroit Michigan through education and
community engagementOur GlobeMed chapterrsquos project with the Joy-
Southfield Community Development Corporation
aimed to complement the JSCDCrsquos broad approach to
health promotion Our chapter helped to plan and lead
healthy eating and living classes that provided
attending community members with healthy cooking
demonstrations recipes and sources of physical
activity for both adults and children Additionally we
helped to develop and expand the Sowing Seeds

(ldquoaccompaniersrdquo) to disperse
life-saving health services all
around Southeast Liberia
Each of these 40
accompaniers was paired
with one of the 40 GlobeMed
members at the University of
Michigan in order to galvanize
a personal sense of solidarity
between students in Ann
Arbor and THrsquos accompaniers
in Zwedru Liberia
HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE YEAR
GLOBALHEALTHU
While most of our weekly discussions were based on
a set network-wide curriculum and centered on
global health issues prevalent in developing nations
we were fortunate to have our Joy-Southfield
Coordinators lead a couple sessions on health
problems in Detroit They were able to use examples
from our work with JSCDC and even placed the
issues we currently address into the context of
Detroitrsquos political history
Finally globalhealthU sessions served not only to
educate members about current events and debates
concerning global health but also for members to
inspire each other to think about prevalent and
potentially controversial issues from different
perspectives GlobeMed is unique in this respect
because it provides a forum for open discussion on
issues only skimmed over in classes and gives
students the opportunity to think critically about
current health initiatives
globalhealthU is a GlobeMed
designed curriculum that enables
students to develop a critical
understanding of issues in global
health and apply this knowledge
to their work with communities
around the world

as most income-generating
opportunities are closed to
them Because of limited
access to fresh food and a
paucity of jobs in Detroit the

Over the summer of 2011 the GlobeMed at the University
of Michigan chapter completed our first grassroots on-site
work (GROW) internships with Tiyatien Health in Zwedru
Liberia and with the Joy-Southfield Community Development
Corporation in Detroit Michigan The GROW interns will be
able to bring back much deeper understandings of our

for our partnerships Through these GROW internships our
chapter has made incredibly deep personal connections to
our partner organizations that will continue to develop in the
years to come
During the 2011-2012 academic year our GlobeMed chapter
will focus greatly on fostering personal connections to the
communities that our partner organizations serve This will
further reinforce our partnerships and provide a solid
foundation on which successful fundraising and advocacy
initiatives can occur Additionally we will continue to

GlobeMed at the University of
Michigan is a reincarnation of
the Global Medical Relief
Program (GMRP) In 2006
leaders from UMrsquos GMRP

spearheading a reevaluation of
GMRPrsquos mission helping to
develop their new model for
addressing issues of global

with the Joy-Southfield
Community Development
Corporation (JSCDC) in Detroit
Michigan began immediately in
2006 By 2007 GlobeMed at
UM had started its global
partnership with the Mali Health
Organizing Project (MHOP)
In 2009 the partnership with
MHOP came to an end and a
new relationship was formed
with Tiyatien Health (TH) based
in Zwedru Liberia Since 2009
GlobeMed at UM has grown
tremendously raising over
$16000 for TH starting three
community gardens and a
farmerrsquos market in Detroit and

POPULATION 23903
Liberia has recently emerged from a 14-year civil war that left
the country with intense poverty and a fractured health care
delivery system Since the war Liberia has been rebuilding
its health infrastructure and increasing its capacity for
providing comprehensive healthcare The town of Zwedru
where Tiyatien Health is based is located in rural Southeast
Liberia where sources of basic health services are sparse
The largest hospital in Southeast Liberia is located in Zwedru
and its patients often travel for hours on foot to receive basic
healthcare

JSCDC
KEY FACT In the Detroit area
childhood obesity and
overweight rates are about 20
higher than the national average
KEY FACT The childhood
obesity epidemic threatens to
make this the first generation to
experience a shorter life
expectancy than their parents
[About Joy-Southfield Community
Development Corporation]
FOUNDED IN 2001
The Joy-Southfield Community Development
Corporation (JSCDC) was founded in the basement of
Second Grace United Methodist Church in 2001 with a
mission of neighborhood revitalization through family
life-skill support and community economic development
Its health and education center has grown to provide
free healthcare and prevention resources to the un- and
under-insured living in the Cody-Rouge community of
Detroit Michigan The JSCDC utilizes an environmental
model of health that is based on the idea that the
reduction of environmental risk factors to health is
essential for community health and that access to health
should not be determined by where one lives The
partnership between the JSCDC and the GlobeMed
chapter at the University of Michigan began in 2006 and
since then the GlobeMed chapter has been helping to
coordinate and lead health workshops for Detroit
families along with aiding the establishment of a
farmerrsquos market and two community gardens
[WORKS IN DETROIT MICHIGAN]
POPULATION 713777
Detroit residents including those in Cody-Rouge experience
increased morbidity (illness) and mortality (death) from
chronic diseases like asthma obesity diabetes and
hypertension (high blood pressure) compared to the rest of
the State of Michigan In fact this area has some of the
highest rates of end-stage renal disease (kidney failure) in
the country due to poorly managed type 2 diabetes and
hypertension The good news is that most of this excess
illness and disease can be prevented The sooner we teach
young folks (and their families) how to maintain healthy
lifestyles the better the long-term outcomes will be

GlobeMed at the University of Michigan ndash Ann Arbor
[Why community
health workers]Tiyatien Healthrsquos community health
workers (or ldquoaccompaniersrdquo) make up
the backbone of the organizationrsquos
community-based efforts to promote
the health and fundamental rights of
those living in rural Liberia Tiyatien
Healthrsquos accompaniers bridge the
enormous gap between the destitute
sick and essential health and social
services The accompaniers deliver
life-saving medications directly to their
communities refer patients to more
advanced medical care if needed and
provide vital health lessons and
psychosocial support
Our chapter is supporting Tiyatien Healths
community health worker program in Zwedru
LiberiaThe GlobeMed chapters project with Tiyatien Health aimed to
enable 40 Liberian accompaniers to earn a living while providing
vital health services and social support to patients in and around
Zwedru Liberia Results show that patients with long-term care
have 60 better health outcomes than patients without long-term
care and Tiyatien Health deploys accompaniers to provide long-
term care and support to individuals in Southeast Liberia living with
HIVAIDS tuberculosis epilepsy and depression The health
outcomes of this program will be documented and the program will
be used as a model for future community-based health initiatives
across all of Liberia

[Why community
health]In the United States clinical health
care is a relatively minor health
determinant accounting for about 20
of health outcomes Behavioral
environmental and socioeconomic
factors account for an additional 80
of health outcomes These factors play
a huge role in driving health
inequalities within underserved urban
communities This is especially
apparent in areas of Detroit with little
economic development and few
sources of healthy foods (ldquofood
desertsrdquo) The JSCDC takes a broad
approach to health and addresses
these root causes of illness Our chapter is augmenting the JSCDCs
urban environmental model of health in
Detroit Michigan through education and
community engagementOur GlobeMed chapterrsquos project with the Joy-
Southfield Community Development Corporation
aimed to complement the JSCDCrsquos broad approach to
health promotion Our chapter helped to plan and lead
healthy eating and living classes that provided
attending community members with healthy cooking
demonstrations recipes and sources of physical
activity for both adults and children Additionally we
helped to develop and expand the Sowing Seeds
Growing Futures Farmerrsquos Market as well as its two
nearby community gardens Through these sustainable
health education initiatives our GlobeMed chapter and
the JSCDC hope to change the way people think about
their health their well-being and their community

Tiyatien Health employs 40
community health workers
(ldquoaccompaniersrdquo) to disperse
life-saving health services all
around Southeast Liberia
Each of these 40
accompaniers was paired
with one of the 40 GlobeMed
members at the University of
Michigan in order to galvanize
a personal sense of solidarity
between students in Ann
Arbor and THrsquos accompaniers
in Zwedru Liberia
HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE YEAR
GLOBALHEALTHU
While most of our weekly discussions were based on
a set network-wide curriculum and centered on
global health issues prevalent in developing nations
we were fortunate to have our Joy-Southfield
Coordinators lead a couple sessions on health
problems in Detroit They were able to use examples
from our work with JSCDC and even placed the
issues we currently address into the context of
Detroitrsquos political history
Finally globalhealthU sessions served not only to
educate members about current events and debates
concerning global health but also for members to
inspire each other to think about prevalent and
potentially controversial issues from different
perspectives GlobeMed is unique in this respect
because it provides a forum for open discussion on
issues only skimmed over in classes and gives
students the opportunity to think critically about
current health initiatives
globalhealthU is a GlobeMed
designed curriculum that enables
students to develop a critical
understanding of issues in global
health and apply this knowledge
to their work with communities
around the world

Screening of Grown in
Detroit
DECEMBER 1 2010
The award-winning
documentary Grown in
Detroit spotlights a school for
pregnant women and single
mothers especially important
as most income-generating
opportunities are closed to
them Because of limited
access to fresh food and a
paucity of jobs in Detroit the
school combines business
and agriculture education so
women can create their own
opportunities to support their
families As our project with
JSCDC involves urban

WORLD DAY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE
GLOBEMED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN ndash ANN ARBOR
joined 31 other GlobeMed chapters across the nation in a network-wide
commemoration of the 3rd Annual World Day of Social Justice on February
20 2011 by asking students professors and community members on
campus an open-ended thought provoking question relating to social
justice
OUR QUESTION You donrsquot have to be rich to give you just have tohellip
BEHIND THE SCENES Many have been compelled to action by the
concept of ldquothe white manrsquos burdenrdquo with the underlying logic that those
who are privileged should help those who are not However our chapter
wanted to contradict the perception that being able to help is dependent on
being financially wealthy We wanted our peers to think about ways to aid
others that did not involve donating money so as to inspire creative
methods of furthering worthy causes as well as increase involvement in
efforts to alleviate the maladies plaguing our world today
The source and inspiration for this was a quote by Dharma Master Cheng
Yen ldquoGiving is not the privilege of the rich ndash it is the privilege of the
sincererdquo

Over the summer of 2011 the GlobeMed at the University
of Michigan chapter completed our first grassroots on-site
work (GROW) internships with Tiyatien Health in Zwedru
Liberia and with the Joy-Southfield Community Development
Corporation in Detroit Michigan The GROW interns will be
able to bring back much deeper understandings of our

chapter as well as a renewed sense of purpose and solidarity
for our partnerships Through these GROW internships our
chapter has made incredibly deep personal connections to
our partner organizations that will continue to develop in the
years to come
During the 2011-2012 academic year our GlobeMed chapter
will focus greatly on fostering personal connections to the
communities that our partner organizations serve This will
further reinforce our partnerships and provide a solid
foundation on which successful fundraising and advocacy
initiatives can occur Additionally we will continue to
collaborate with and emphasize the work of our Detroit-based
partner promoting the fact that global health does not

KEY FACT In the Detroit area
childhood obesity and

higher than the national average
KEY FACT The childhood

make this the first generation to
experience a shorter life

[About Joy-Southfield Community
Development Corporation]
FOUNDED IN 2001
The Joy-Southfield Community Development
Corporation (JSCDC) was founded in the basement of
Second Grace United Methodist Church in 2001 with a
mission of neighborhood revitalization through family
life-skill support and community economic development
Its health and education center has grown to provide
free healthcare and prevention resources to the un- and
under-insured living in the Cody-Rouge community of
Detroit Michigan The JSCDC utilizes an environmental
model of health that is based on the idea that the
reduction of environmental risk factors to health is
essential for community health and that access to health
should not be determined by where one lives The
partnership between the JSCDC and the GlobeMed
chapter at the University of Michigan began in 2006 and
since then the GlobeMed chapter has been helping to
coordinate and lead health workshops for Detroit
families along with aiding the establishment of a
farmerrsquos market and two community gardens
[WORKS IN DETROIT MICHIGAN]
POPULATION 713777
Detroit residents including those in Cody-Rouge experience
increased morbidity (illness) and mortality (death) from
chronic diseases like asthma obesity diabetes and
hypertension (high blood pressure) compared to the rest of
the State of Michigan In fact this area has some of the
highest rates of end-stage renal disease (kidney failure) in
the country due to poorly managed type 2 diabetes and
hypertension The good news is that most of this excess
illness and disease can be prevented The sooner we teach
young folks (and their families) how to maintain healthy
lifestyles the better the long-term outcomes will be

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE YEAR
GLOBALHEALTHU
While most of our weekly discussions were based on
a set network-wide curriculum and centered on
global health issues prevalent in developing nations
we were fortunate to have our Joy-Southfield
Coordinators lead a couple sessions on health
problems in Detroit They were able to use examples
from our work with JSCDC and even placed the
issues we currently address into the context of
Detroitrsquos political history
Finally globalhealthU sessions served not only to
educate members about current events and debates
concerning global health but also for members to
inspire each other to think about prevalent and
potentially controversial issues from different
perspectives GlobeMed is unique in this respect
because it provides a forum for open discussion on
issues only skimmed over in classes and gives
students the opportunity to think critically about
current health initiatives
globalhealthU is a GlobeMed
designed curriculum that enables
students to develop a critical
understanding of issues in global
health and apply this knowledge
to their work with communities
around the world

Screening of Grown in

DECEMBER 1 2010
The award-winning
documentary Grown in
Detroit spotlights a school for
pregnant women and single
mothers especially important
as most income-generating
opportunities are closed to
them Because of limited
access to fresh food and a
paucity of jobs in Detroit the
school combines business
and agriculture education so
women can create their own
opportunities to support their
families As our project with

WORLD DAY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE
GLOBEMED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN ndash ANN ARBOR
joined 31 other GlobeMed chapters across the nation in a network-wide
commemoration of the 3rd Annual World Day of Social Justice on February
20 2011 by asking students professors and community members on
campus an open-ended thought provoking question relating to social
justice
OUR QUESTION You donrsquot have to be rich to give you just have tohellip
BEHIND THE SCENES Many have been compelled to action by the
concept of ldquothe white manrsquos burdenrdquo with the underlying logic that those
who are privileged should help those who are not However our chapter
wanted to contradict the perception that being able to help is dependent on
being financially wealthy We wanted our peers to think about ways to aid
others that did not involve donating money so as to inspire creative
methods of furthering worthy causes as well as increase involvement in
efforts to alleviate the maladies plaguing our world today
The source and inspiration for this was a quote by Dharma Master Cheng
Yen ldquoGiving is not the privilege of the rich ndash it is the privilege of the
sincererdquo

OUR FUTURE
Over the summer of 2011 the GlobeMed at the University
of Michigan chapter completed our first grassroots on-site
work (GROW) internships with Tiyatien Health in Zwedru
Liberia and with the Joy-Southfield Community Development
Corporation in Detroit Michigan The GROW interns will be
able to bring back much deeper understandings of our
chapterrsquos partner organizations to the rest of our GlobeMed
chapter as well as a renewed sense of purpose and solidarity
for our partnerships Through these GROW internships our
chapter has made incredibly deep personal connections to
our partner organizations that will continue to develop in the
years to come
During the 2011-2012 academic year our GlobeMed chapter
will focus greatly on fostering personal connections to the
communities that our partner organizations serve This will
further reinforce our partnerships and provide a solid
foundation on which successful fundraising and advocacy
initiatives can occur Additionally we will continue to
collaborate with and emphasize the work of our Detroit-based
partner promoting the fact that global health does not
transcend our local communities It is through the
development of these partnerships that the GlobeMed
network is able to function as a pipeline for new and
innovative leaders in global health and social justice
Our GlobeMed chapter will continue to build off of the
generous support provided by both individuals and
organizations Please visit httpwwwrazoocomstoryGlobe-

Screening of Grown in
Detroit
DECEMBER 1 2010
The award-winning
documentary Grown in
Detroit spotlights a school for
pregnant women and single
mothers especially important
as most income-generating
opportunities are closed to
them Because of limited
access to fresh food and a
paucity of jobs in Detroit the
school combines business
and agriculture education so
women can create their own
opportunities to support their
families As our project with
JSCDC involves urban
gardening this was a great
way to expose our peers to
other gardening initiatives in
Detroit

WORLD DAY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE
GLOBEMED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN ndash ANN ARBOR
joined 31 other GlobeMed chapters across the nation in a network-wide
commemoration of the 3rd Annual World Day of Social Justice on February
20 2011 by asking students professors and community members on
campus an open-ended thought provoking question relating to social
justice
OUR QUESTION You donrsquot have to be rich to give you just have tohellip
BEHIND THE SCENES Many have been compelled to action by the
concept of ldquothe white manrsquos burdenrdquo with the underlying logic that those
who are privileged should help those who are not However our chapter
wanted to contradict the perception that being able to help is dependent on
being financially wealthy We wanted our peers to think about ways to aid
others that did not involve donating money so as to inspire creative
methods of furthering worthy causes as well as increase involvement in
efforts to alleviate the maladies plaguing our world today
The source and inspiration for this was a quote by Dharma Master Cheng
Yen ldquoGiving is not the privilege of the rich ndash it is the privilege of the
sincererdquo

Tiyatien Health
GlobeMed at the University of Michigan ndash Ann Arbor
[Why community
health workers]Tiyatien Healthrsquos community health
workers (or ldquoaccompaniersrdquo) make up
the backbone of the organizationrsquos
community-based efforts to promote
the health and fundamental rights of
those living in rural Liberia Tiyatien
Healthrsquos accompaniers bridge the
enormous gap between the destitute
sick and essential health and social
services The accompaniers deliver
life-saving medications directly to their
communities refer patients to more
advanced medical care if needed and
provide vital health lessons and
psychosocial support
Our chapter is supporting Tiyatien Healths
community health worker program in Zwedru
LiberiaThe GlobeMed chapters project with Tiyatien Health aimed to
enable 40 Liberian accompaniers to earn a living while providing
vital health services and social support to patients in and around
Zwedru Liberia Results show that patients with long-term care
have 60 better health outcomes than patients without long-term
care and Tiyatien Health deploys accompaniers to provide long-
term care and support to individuals in Southeast Liberia living with
HIVAIDS tuberculosis epilepsy and depression The health
outcomes of this program will be documented and the program will
be used as a model for future community-based health initiatives
across all of Liberia

[Why community
health]In the United States clinical health
care is a relatively minor health
determinant accounting for about 20
of health outcomes Behavioral
environmental and socioeconomic
factors account for an additional 80
of health outcomes These factors play
a huge role in driving health
inequalities within underserved urban
communities This is especially
apparent in areas of Detroit with little
economic development and few
sources of healthy foods (ldquofood
desertsrdquo) The JSCDC takes a broad
approach to health and addresses
these root causes of illness Our chapter is augmenting the JSCDCs
urban environmental model of health in
Detroit Michigan through education and
community engagementOur GlobeMed chapterrsquos project with the Joy-
Southfield Community Development Corporation
aimed to complement the JSCDCrsquos broad approach to
health promotion Our chapter helped to plan and lead
healthy eating and living classes that provided
attending community members with healthy cooking
demonstrations recipes and sources of physical
activity for both adults and children Additionally we
helped to develop and expand the Sowing Seeds
Growing Futures Farmerrsquos Market as well as its two
nearby community gardens Through these sustainable
health education initiatives our GlobeMed chapter and
the JSCDC hope to change the way people think about
their health their well-being and their community

project with Tiyatien Health
Tiyatien Health employs 40
community health workers
(ldquoaccompaniersrdquo) to disperse
life-saving health services all
around Southeast Liberia
Each of these 40
accompaniers was paired
with one of the 40 GlobeMed
members at the University of
Michigan in order to galvanize
a personal sense of solidarity
between students in Ann
Arbor and THrsquos accompaniers
in Zwedru Liberia
HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE YEAR
GLOBALHEALTHU
While most of our weekly discussions were based on
a set network-wide curriculum and centered on
global health issues prevalent in developing nations
we were fortunate to have our Joy-Southfield
Coordinators lead a couple sessions on health
problems in Detroit They were able to use examples
from our work with JSCDC and even placed the
issues we currently address into the context of
Detroitrsquos political history
Finally globalhealthU sessions served not only to
educate members about current events and debates
concerning global health but also for members to
inspire each other to think about prevalent and
potentially controversial issues from different
perspectives GlobeMed is unique in this respect
because it provides a forum for open discussion on
issues only skimmed over in classes and gives
students the opportunity to think critically about
current health initiatives
globalhealthU is a GlobeMed
designed curriculum that enables
students to develop a critical
understanding of issues in global
health and apply this knowledge
to their work with communities
around the world

[Why community
health]In the United States clinical health
care is a relatively minor health
determinant accounting for about 20
of health outcomes Behavioral
environmental and socioeconomic
factors account for an additional 80
of health outcomes These factors play
a huge role in driving health
inequalities within underserved urban
communities This is especially
apparent in areas of Detroit with little
economic development and few
sources of healthy foods (ldquofood
desertsrdquo) The JSCDC takes a broad
approach to health and addresses
these root causes of illness Our chapter is augmenting the JSCDCs
urban environmental model of health in
Detroit Michigan through education and
community engagementOur GlobeMed chapterrsquos project with the Joy-
Southfield Community Development Corporation
aimed to complement the JSCDCrsquos broad approach to
health promotion Our chapter helped to plan and lead
healthy eating and living classes that provided
attending community members with healthy cooking
demonstrations recipes and sources of physical
activity for both adults and children Additionally we
helped to develop and expand the Sowing Seeds
Growing Futures Farmerrsquos Market as well as its two
nearby community gardens Through these sustainable
health education initiatives our GlobeMed chapter and
the JSCDC hope to change the way people think about
their health their well-being and their community

The 40 with 40 year-long
campaign was the campaign
through which the GlobeMed
chapter rallied the support of
individuals to support its
project with Tiyatien Health
Tiyatien Health employs 40
community health workers
(ldquoaccompaniersrdquo) to disperse
life-saving health services all
around Southeast Liberia
Each of these 40
accompaniers was paired
with one of the 40 GlobeMed
members at the University of
Michigan in order to galvanize
a personal sense of solidarity
between students in Ann
Arbor and THrsquos accompaniers
in Zwedru Liberia
HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE YEAR
GLOBALHEALTHU
While most of our weekly discussions were based on
a set network-wide curriculum and centered on
global health issues prevalent in developing nations
we were fortunate to have our Joy-Southfield
Coordinators lead a couple sessions on health
problems in Detroit They were able to use examples
from our work with JSCDC and even placed the
issues we currently address into the context of
Detroitrsquos political history
Finally globalhealthU sessions served not only to
educate members about current events and debates
concerning global health but also for members to
inspire each other to think about prevalent and
potentially controversial issues from different
perspectives GlobeMed is unique in this respect
because it provides a forum for open discussion on
issues only skimmed over in classes and gives
students the opportunity to think critically about
current health initiatives
globalhealthU is a GlobeMed
designed curriculum that enables
students to develop a critical
understanding of issues in global
health and apply this knowledge
to their work with communities
around the world

OUR FUTURE
Over the summer of 2011 the GlobeMed at the University
of Michigan chapter completed our first grassroots on-site
work (GROW) internships with Tiyatien Health in Zwedru
Liberia and with the Joy-Southfield Community Development
Corporation in Detroit Michigan The GROW interns will be
able to bring back much deeper understandings of our
chapterrsquos partner organizations to the rest of our GlobeMed
chapter as well as a renewed sense of purpose and solidarity
for our partnerships Through these GROW internships our
chapter has made incredibly deep personal connections to
our partner organizations that will continue to develop in the
years to come
During the 2011-2012 academic year our GlobeMed chapter
will focus greatly on fostering personal connections to the
communities that our partner organizations serve This will
further reinforce our partnerships and provide a solid
foundation on which successful fundraising and advocacy
initiatives can occur Additionally we will continue to
collaborate with and emphasize the work of our Detroit-based
partner promoting the fact that global health does not
transcend our local communities It is through the
development of these partnerships that the GlobeMed
network is able to function as a pipeline for new and
innovative leaders in global health and social justice
Our GlobeMed chapter will continue to build off of the
generous support provided by both individuals and
organizations Please visit httpwwwrazoocomstoryGlobe-
Med-At-University-Of-Michigan-40-With-40 to support our
chapterrsquos future work with our partner organizations in Liberia
and in Detroit and to help drive the student movement for
global health equity and social justice
GlobeMed opened my eyes to the health disparities that exist both locally and
abroad while our chapter addressed specific contextualized issues of social
injustice By challenging the fundamental understanding of health GlobeMed
transformed my unmolded passion for the health sciences further shaping a
lifelong passion in the field of medicineldquo ndash Jeremy Kratz co 2011

OUR FUTURE
Over the summer of 2011 the GlobeMed at the University
of Michigan chapter completed our first grassroots on-site
work (GROW) internships with Tiyatien Health in Zwedru
Liberia and with the Joy-Southfield Community Development
Corporation in Detroit Michigan The GROW interns will be
able to bring back much deeper understandings of our
chapterrsquos partner organizations to the rest of our GlobeMed
chapter as well as a renewed sense of purpose and solidarity
for our partnerships Through these GROW internships our
chapter has made incredibly deep personal connections to
our partner organizations that will continue to develop in the
years to come
During the 2011-2012 academic year our GlobeMed chapter
will focus greatly on fostering personal connections to the
communities that our partner organizations serve This will
further reinforce our partnerships and provide a solid
foundation on which successful fundraising and advocacy
initiatives can occur Additionally we will continue to
collaborate with and emphasize the work of our Detroit-based
partner promoting the fact that global health does not
transcend our local communities It is through the
development of these partnerships that the GlobeMed
network is able to function as a pipeline for new and
innovative leaders in global health and social justice
Our GlobeMed chapter will continue to build off of the
generous support provided by both individuals and
organizations Please visit httpwwwrazoocomstoryGlobe-

4th Annual GlobeMed
Benefit Dinner
APRIL 1 2011
The 4th Annual GlobeMed
Benefit Dinner was held on
the campus of the University
of Michigan and consisted of
over 90 individuals gathered
in support of Tiyatien Health
Guests were able to learn
about the incredible work of
chapterrsquos partnering
organizations from Dr Patrick
Lee of Tiyatien Health and Dr
Dave Law of the Joy-
Southfield Community
Development Corporation
Donations were accepted and
a silent auction was held for
guests to support these
organizations and the
movement for global health
equity
The 40 with 40
Campaign
YEAR-LONG
The 40 with 40 year-long
campaign was the campaign
through which the GlobeMed
chapter rallied the support of
individuals to support its
project with Tiyatien Health
Tiyatien Health employs 40
community health workers
(ldquoaccompaniersrdquo) to disperse
life-saving health services all
around Southeast Liberia
Each of these 40
accompaniers was paired
with one of the 40 GlobeMed
members at the University of
Michigan in order to galvanize
a personal sense of solidarity
between students in Ann
Arbor and THrsquos accompaniers
in Zwedru Liberia
HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE YEAR
GLOBALHEALTHU
While most of our weekly discussions were based on
a set network-wide curriculum and centered on
global health issues prevalent in developing nations
we were fortunate to have our Joy-Southfield
Coordinators lead a couple sessions on health
problems in Detroit They were able to use examples
from our work with JSCDC and even placed the
issues we currently address into the context of
Detroitrsquos political history
Finally globalhealthU sessions served not only to
educate members about current events and debates
concerning global health but also for members to
inspire each other to think about prevalent and
potentially controversial issues from different
perspectives GlobeMed is unique in this respect
because it provides a forum for open discussion on
issues only skimmed over in classes and gives
students the opportunity to think critically about
current health initiatives
globalhealthU is a GlobeMed
designed curriculum that enables
students to develop a critical
understanding of issues in global
health and apply this knowledge
to their work with communities
around the world

Screening of Grown in
Detroit
DECEMBER 1 2010
The award-winning
documentary Grown in
Detroit spotlights a school for
pregnant women and single
mothers especially important
as most income-generating
opportunities are closed to
them Because of limited
access to fresh food and a
paucity of jobs in Detroit the
school combines business
and agriculture education so
women can create their own
opportunities to support their
families As our project with
JSCDC involves urban
gardening this was a great
way to expose our peers to
other gardening initiatives in

Throughout the day

WORLD DAY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE
GLOBEMED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN ndash ANN ARBOR
joined 31 other GlobeMed chapters across the nation in a network-wide
commemoration of the 3rd Annual World Day of Social Justice on February
20 2011 by asking students professors and community members on
campus an open-ended thought provoking question relating to social
justice
OUR QUESTION You donrsquot have to be rich to give you just have tohellip
BEHIND THE SCENES Many have been compelled to action by the
concept of ldquothe white manrsquos burdenrdquo with the underlying logic that those
who are privileged should help those who are not However our chapter
wanted to contradict the perception that being able to help is dependent on
being financially wealthy We wanted our peers to think about ways to aid
others that did not involve donating money so as to inspire creative
methods of furthering worthy causes as well as increase involvement in
efforts to alleviate the maladies plaguing our world today
The source and inspiration for this was a quote by Dharma Master Cheng

Screening of Grown in
Detroit
DECEMBER 1 2010
The award-winning
documentary Grown in
Detroit spotlights a school for
pregnant women and single
mothers especially important
as most income-generating
opportunities are closed to
them Because of limited
access to fresh food and a
paucity of jobs in Detroit the
school combines business
and agriculture education so
women can create their own
opportunities to support their
families As our project with
JSCDC involves urban
gardening this was a great
way to expose our peers to
other gardening initiatives in
Detroit
Campus Post-It-ing
FEBRUARY 14 2011
Throughout the day
GlobeMedders stuck up Post-
Its with health facts and
figures all around campus
They could be found
anywhere from bathroom
mirrors to the backs of chairs
or from vending machines to
a hand sanitizer dispenser
The aim was simply to create
awareness of health
disparities both in the US
and abroad
ON ndash CAMPUS EVENTS
ldquoAt first it was
difficult agreeing
with some of the
ideas surrounding
global health
politics however
my eyes have been
opened up to the
devastating health
conditions around
the worldrdquo

GLOBEMED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN ndash ANN ARBOR
joined 31 other GlobeMed chapters across the nation in a network-wide
commemoration of the 3rd Annual World Day of Social Justice on February
20 2011 by asking students professors and community members on

OUR QUESTION You donrsquot have to be rich to give you just have tohellip
BEHIND THE SCENES Many have been compelled to action by the
concept of ldquothe white manrsquos burdenrdquo with the underlying logic that those
who are privileged should help those who are not However our chapter
wanted to contradict the perception that being able to help is dependent on
being financially wealthy We wanted our peers to think about ways to aid
others that did not involve donating money so as to inspire creative
methods of furthering worthy causes as well as increase involvement in
efforts to alleviate the maladies plaguing our world today

OUR FUTURE
Over the summer of 2011 the GlobeMed at the University
of Michigan chapter completed our first grassroots on-site
work (GROW) internships with Tiyatien Health in Zwedru
Liberia and with the Joy-Southfield Community Development
Corporation in Detroit Michigan The GROW interns will be
able to bring back much deeper understandings of our
chapterrsquos partner organizations to the rest of our GlobeMed
chapter as well as a renewed sense of purpose and solidarity
for our partnerships Through these GROW internships our
chapter has made incredibly deep personal connections to
our partner organizations that will continue to develop in the
years to come
During the 2011-2012 academic year our GlobeMed chapter
will focus greatly on fostering personal connections to the
communities that our partner organizations serve This will
further reinforce our partnerships and provide a solid
foundation on which successful fundraising and advocacy
initiatives can occur Additionally we will continue to
collaborate with and emphasize the work of our Detroit-based
partner promoting the fact that global health does not
transcend our local communities It is through the
development of these partnerships that the GlobeMed
network is able to function as a pipeline for new and
innovative leaders in global health and social justice
Our GlobeMed chapter will continue to build off of the
generous support provided by both individuals and
organizations Please visit httpwwwrazoocomstoryGlobe-

chapter as well as a renewed sense of purpose and solidarity
for our partnerships Through these GROW internships our
chapter has made incredibly deep personal connections to
our partner organizations that will continue to develop in the
years to come
During the 2011-2012 academic year our GlobeMed chapter
will focus greatly on fostering personal connections to the
communities that our partner organizations serve This will
further reinforce our partnerships and provide a solid
foundation on which successful fundraising and advocacy
initiatives can occur Additionally we will continue to
collaborate with and emphasize the work of our Detroit-based
partner promoting the fact that global health does not
transcend our local communities It is through the
development of these partnerships that the GlobeMed

WORLD DAY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE
GLOBEMED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN ndash ANN ARBOR
joined 31 other GlobeMed chapters across the nation in a network-wide
commemoration of the 3rd Annual World Day of Social Justice on February
20 2011 by asking students professors and community members on
campus an open-ended thought provoking question relating to social
justice
OUR QUESTION You donrsquot have to be rich to give you just have tohellip
BEHIND THE SCENES Many have been compelled to action by the
concept of ldquothe white manrsquos burdenrdquo with the underlying logic that those
who are privileged should help those who are not However our chapter
wanted to contradict the perception that being able to help is dependent on
being financially wealthy We wanted our peers to think about ways to aid
others that did not involve donating money so as to inspire creative
methods of furthering worthy causes as well as increase involvement in
efforts to alleviate the maladies plaguing our world today
The source and inspiration for this was a quote by Dharma Master Cheng
Yen ldquoGiving is not the privilege of the rich ndash it is the privilege of the
sincererdquo

chapter has made incredibly deep personal connections to
our partner organizations that will continue to develop in the
years to come
During the 2011-2012 academic year our GlobeMed chapter
will focus greatly on fostering personal connections to the
communities that our partner organizations serve This will
further reinforce our partnerships and provide a solid
foundation on which successful fundraising and advocacy
initiatives can occur Additionally we will continue to
collaborate with and emphasize the work of our Detroit-based
partner promoting the fact that global health does not
transcend our local communities It is through the
development of these partnerships that the GlobeMed
network is able to function as a pipeline for new and
innovative leaders in global health and social justice
Our GlobeMed chapter will continue to build off of the
generous support provided by both individuals and
organizations Please visit httpwwwrazoocomstoryGlobe-

and in Detroit and to help drive the student movement for
global health equity and social justice
GlobeMed opened my eyes to the health disparities that exist both locally and
abroad while our chapter addressed specific contextualized issues of social
injustice By challenging the fundamental understanding of health GlobeMed
transformed my unmolded passion for the health sciences further shaping a
lifelong passion in the field of medicineldquo ndash Jeremy Kratz co 2011
