The overall goal of OGACHI is to address health disparities locally and abroad through promoting academic enrichment, service-learning, and research pertaining to issues of global health. The Office serves as a clearing house and catalyst for the development, facilitation and monitoring of local, regional and international activities of students and faculty related to improving health around the world. It also cultivates and promotes interdisciplinary linkages across the campus and externally with other organizations, agencies and communities in responding to disparate health outcomes of the poor and underserved.
