About us
As the first and only School of Global Health in the nation, Meharry Medical College is advancing its work to eliminate global health equities. The school is an outgrowth of the Institute of Global Health Equity, and fills an important gap in the global healthcare continuum as it will be taking a new and more holistic approach to global health. Presently, global public health education tends to focus on population-wide interventions. The School of Global Health will take a multidisciplinary and multi sectoral approach to health and economic improvement. Future degree programs will focus on four initial areas: Political Determinants of Health, Mental Health, Population Health, and Health Communications.

We know that diseases of the brain impact not only our systemic health but also our overall well-being. These in turn, are further impacted by the wider set of forces shaping the conditions of our daily lives. From our findings, the U.S. is projected to spend $911.9B in excess deaths alone by the year 2040 under our current system if no action is taken. Indeed, the mental health crisis in the U.S. should be treated as an emergency encompassing a cross-sector approach. Therefore, on this #WorldMentalHealthDay let us recognize that there can be no health equity without mental health equity; but it takes all of us to do our part to not only envision a brighter tomorrow but to also achieve a world where inequities are part of our history, not our future. The School of Global Health is proud to be working towards operationalizing health equity through its programs and course offerings, as well as through its research and thought leadership. If you want to join us in this call to action, apply now to one of our programs: https://lnkd.in/e2SFzveY. Students who wish to be considered for a scholarship should submit their application by December 01, 2024.

This week Meharry Medical College held is 149th convocation, a time honored tradition at the beginning of each new school year which brings together students, faculty and staff. I am grateful that our inaugural class of students at the Meharry School of Global Health were part of this special ceremony which featured Chiquita Brooks-LaSure, the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) who has been a trail blazer in our movement to advance health equity. She delivered a powerful keynote on lessons we all should learn on this journey of life. As we work to expand the boundaries of knowledge on issues impacting health equity both domestically and globally and drive equitable and meaningful changes in #healthcare, #publichealth, #behavioralhealth, among other areas, we invite applications from individuals interested in joining our second cohort of students for fall of 2025. Applications are now open. For more information on our programs, please visit #meharryglobal.org or #MMC.edu and please spread the word to those who want to change our world for the better and lead where they are in actualizing health equity for all. #politicaldeterminantsofhealth #healthequity #globalhealth #populationhealth #publichealth #mentalhealth

We're on an incredible mission at The Root Cause Coalition! I had the honor and privilege of touching base with the one and only Daniel Dawes last week to plan around critical legislative and policy issues that impact health equity and develop opportunity areas for essential effects of strategy at all levels of our work from federal to local engagement. Daniel has dedicated his career to addressing health equity issues impacting vulnerable, under-resourced, and marginalized populations. He is an internationally recognized health policy expert and attorney. He is the Senior Vice President of Global Health & Executive Director at the Institute of Global Health Equity at Meharry Medical College. Before this role, Daniel was the Executive Director of the Morehouse School of Medicine, Satcher Health Leadership Institute, and professor of health law, policy, and management in the Department of Community Health and Preventive Medicine. He has been a long-standing and engaged friend and advocate to TRCC. Thanks for the warm welcome, Daniel Dawes, and let’s make magic!

Last night was all about connecting communities and promoting health through the power of mapping! I started with a session in Garrett County, Maryland, collaborating with middle school students and teachers on a community mapping project to address local environmental and health issues like river pollution and waste management. Despite being in a remote rural area, these students were highly engaged and eager to explore how mapping can help identify and solve these challenges. Their commitment to protecting their community's environment and health led to some truly meaningful discussions! Later, I transitioned to a virtual lecture with elementary school students in the Philippines, focusing on community mapping to understand local health and environmental concerns. Although connecting virtually can be challenging, the students' enthusiasm and energy made the session incredibly rewarding. It was a powerful reminder that community engagement can make a significant impact, regardless of distance! Through community mapping, I am dedicated to guiding diverse groups—from young children to older adults—in exploring their communities, understanding local environmental and health issues, and inspiring them to take action. Seeing how these activities empower communities to create healthier and more sustainable environments is always inspiring. Everything is interconnected, and together we can make a difference! #CommunityMapping #Health #Education #Environment #YouthEngagement #Sustainability #SchoolofGlobalHealth #GIS #LocalImpact #GlobalAwareness
