Global Health Club
Why is global health important and why is it important at Downstate?
As the world becomes increasingly interconnected both people and disease can travel more freely across state and country borders. The diversity of our surrounding community, and the City of New York, make awareness of global health issues a requirement for providing adequate healthcare to our patients.
