Mission GlobeMed aims to strengthen the movement for global
health equity by empowering students and communities to work together to improve the health of people living in
poverty around the world.
Vision We envision a world in which health the ability to not only survive but thrive is possible for all people, regardless of
where they call home.
We believe every human life has equal worth and every person deserves the chance to thrive. This
belief has drawn together our network of students, communities, and supporters from all walks of life and from every corner of the world. Health for all is within our grasp, but we can only achieve it by
working together.
About GlobeMed
GlobeMed at Princeton University
Dear Friends, This past year has been one of great growth and learning for our chapter, and we are so grateful for your support in making our gains possible. From our staff recruitment at the Princeton student orientation in September to our individual giving campaign before the winter holidays, from our
hard to ensure that Medical AIDS Outreach receives the aid they need in order to achieve their goals.
be more honored to take on this incredible responsibility. Dr. Paul Farmer, founder of Partners in Health and inarguably one of the leading humanitarians of our
have adopted as their own, upholding the conviction that health is an unquestionable human right. Often, however, many Americans committed to global health efforts neglect to see the dire health inequities pervading their own backyard. To be sure, just as developing countries are plagued by health and social justice problems, so is the United States of America. Every 9.5 minutes, someone in the U.S. is diagnosed with HIV. This burden is nowhere greater felt than in the South, home to the highest rate of new HIV infection, the most AIDS deaths, and the largest number of adults and adolescents living with HIV/AIDS. What worsens this burden in the South is the lack of access to healthcare, with fewer and fewer medical practitioners able to provide treatment and care to the thousands affected. Our partner organization, Medical AIDS Outreach of Montgomery, Alabama, has set itself apart by recognizing this need for care, embarking on a massive Alabama eHealth: Access to Care Initiative to establish several cutting-edge telemedicine clinics throughout rural Alabama. Through its ever-expanding program, MAO has been able to make huge differences for people living with HIV/AIDS in rural Alabama.
members of GlobeMed at Princeton as we embarked on a mission of our own to raise money and
cookies, hosting awareness panels for discussion between professors and students about current domestic healthcare issues, or by spreading knowledge via our World Day of Social Justice media campaign, we feel that we did much to achieve our goals. Nevertheless, there is so much yet to be done. Sometimes, the grave situation in our country seems too complex and weighty to handle. With the incredible support of family and friends behind us, however, we know we have the power to make a difference. Again, we thank you so much for all that you have done for us in the past and all that you will do for us in the future.

In 2008, Natalie searched for a way to live out her dedication to social justice and global health equity. Through GlobeMed, she found a way. With guidance and resources from the National Office, Natalie and her co-president Andrew assembled a group of passionate individuals to make a difference. The following year, Cornelia and Amy were appointed as Natalie and Andrew's successors. Cornelia and Amy picked up where Natalie had left off and jumped right into an exciting, insightful, and rewarding journey--a new partnership with Medical AIDS Outreach. This past year,
more. With 21 members, 7 projects, and over $2,000 raised in 2012-2013, GlobeMed at Princeton is growing in numbers, enthusiasm, and passion for making a difference in the lives of those suffering from HIV/AIDS.
About Us
Medical aids outreach
KEY FACT: The highest number of newly diagnosed cases is among people 13-34 years of age. KEY FACT: The South is the poorest region of the United States.
Montgomery, Alabama Population: 208,182 Lack of access to health care is a more serious problem in the South than in any other region of the U.S. Southerners are far less likely to have health insurance than residents of other regions of the country, and due to the shortage of HIV health specialists--especially in rural areas--those who test positive for HIV have difficulty finding access to care. Also, there is a strong correlation between poverty level and risk of acquiring HIV/AIDS. Alabama is one of the poorest states in the South, and unfortunately, the number of citizens with HIV/AIDS is growing. Our time to help is now!
Medical AIDS Outreach, Inc. Founded in 1987 The Montgomery AIDS Outreach, Inc. (MAO) was established in 1987 as a private, non-profit, Community-Based AIDS Service Organization and recently changed its name to Medical AIDS Outreach. In 26 counties of South Central Alabama, MAO serves as a full-time primary care facility after transitioning from a volunteer education and service organization. MAO covers about a third of Alabama's geography--mostly counties that are very poor and rural. MAO provides clients with medical and social services; HIV treatment, education and mental health counseling are all options offered to patients and their family members. GlobeMed at Princeton began our partnership with Medical AIDS Outreach in 2010. Together, GlobeMed and MAO hope to establish and develop a high-tech solution to Alabama's dire need for healthcare. In developing a network of telemedicine clinics that will connect HIV patients throughout rural Alabama to medical experts based in Alabama's urban centers, we work to help ensure that Alabama's rural residents have the access to care that they deserve.
Telemedicine Clinics in Rural Alabama
Impact Area: Capacity Building
Why capacity building? Telemedicine is the key to rural Alabamians' access to HIV/AIDS care. The state is woefully short of primary care physicians, especially those certified for HIV-specialized care. In 2010, 17,329 people were infected with HIV/AIDS in Alabama. Over 75% of them live below the poverty line and without opportunity to see a doctor. With telemedicine clinics strategically stationed throughout the rural counties (including Selma, Greenville, and Dothan), patients will be able to interact with doctors based in urban centers through telecommunication. The distance barrier to healthcare for rural citizens can be substantially reduced, if not eliminated. Because of the high rate of STDs and HIV infections in the South, access to care is critically important for the health and wellbeing of our partner community in Alabama. To those afflicted with HIV/AIDS, it can be a matter of life or death. That is why our project's focus area is so critically important.
Supporting the establishment of telemedicine clinics throughout rural Alabama. Globemed at Princeton's goal is to help MAO with its Access to Care Initiative. This initiative focuses on the construction and operation of HIV-specific telemedical clinics throughout Alabama, with the purpose of establishing health equity within the state's HIV care-delivery model. Success will be measured by (1) the number of consumers living with HIV and served by the initiative, (2) the level, quality, and ultimate success of care delivered to consumers living with HIV, and (3) the diminution of HIV-related stigma that pervades the rural Southeastern United States.

Good for Your SOUL, Great for Their HEALTH October 18-19, 2012
GlobeMed hosted a bake sale in the Frist Center, our campus's hub of student life. We sold chocolate chunk cookies and HIV/AIDS awareness bracelets and enjoyed a great opportunity to get to know the newer members of our chapter. The results of this first fundraiser of the year inspired us to follow the cookie crumb trail of success to our later cookie fundraisers targeted more specifically at residential college advisers, students with University money to spend specifically on food for their peer advisees. Smiles all around!
'Tis the Season! December 2-25, 2012
On December 2nd, the members of GlobeMed at Princeton launched "Tis the Season!," a month-long letter-writing campaign to raise money for Alabama's eHealth: Access to Care Initiative. For the four weeks of December, we asked our friends and family to think of someone else this holiday season. To replace a Christmas or Hannukah gift that could have been given to us, we asked that our family and friends give to our partner, Medical AIDS Outreach, instead. In terms of donations, this individual giving campaign was our most successful fundraising effort of the year.
Highlights from the year
This year, we sought to couple the GlobalHealthU curriculum with the other goals of our chapter. We planned several weekly discussions on important public health issues during which Princeton GlobeMedders strategized solutions for the current obesity epidemic -- a point of concern in the South where our partner organization is located -- debated potential reforms to the current US vaccination policy, and talked about the difficulties of managing domestic epidemiological disasters. We opened up our discussions from the GlobeMed team to the entire Princeton community at our panel discussion
experts, epidemiologists and government health officials discussed the unique challenges of fighting the AIDS epidemic and understanding the current economic and political climate of AIDS treatment and prevention. At the Northwestern Summit, Princeton E-Board members engaged in debates with their fellow GlobeMedders; we proposed ideas for fostering community building and developing campus awareness and enthusiasm for the mission and concerns of the GlobeMed organization. We also learned about the research projects of other chapters and humanitarian organizations, and coordinated with other campuses for fundraising and networking events.

Global Health in the USA February 14, 2013
Although this was simply an awareness campaign (i.e. it bore no direct effect on our running fundraising total), our "Global Health in the USA" panel discussion was one of the most enlightening and spirited projects of the year. We had our largest turnout yet for a live event, and the professors and students were truly engaged in a meaningful conversation about the current state of the U.S. healthcare system and international factors that have affected it. Educating tomorrow's leaders is what ghU is all about, and this event epitomized this mission and involved students from many different majors and interests.

into action. In October, we had our first community-building event, our staff fall retreat, a great time to integrate our newest members, plan for the year ahead, and just have fun. A day of icebreakers, scavenger hunts in teams, and goal setting set the foundation for an empowered, passionate group of students to begin their
Princeton community, too.
Through service and team-building events, community and camaraderie is fostered around global health and social justice within GlobeMed chapters, the GlobeMed
network and surrounding communities.
GLOBEMED AT PRINCETON UNIVERSITY joined 49 other GlobeMed chapters across the nation in a network-wide commemoration of the 5rd Annual World Day of Social Justice on February 20, 2013, by asking students, professors, and community members on campus an open-ended, thought provoking question relating to social justice.
OUR QUESTION
What's the most unjust thing in the world?
BEHIND THE SCENES: We chose this simple question because it makes people think about some of the basic human needs we all share. Unfortunately, there are many places in this world where these needs aren't met, so we had students mark on a world map where exactly the need or injustice is most prevalent. This activity shed great light on all that has yet to be done, all of the people yet to be served, and all that we as students can do to make a difference.
INJUSTICE anywhere is a THREAT to JUSTICE MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed February 20th as World Day of Social Justice in 2007. Observation of WDSJ supports efforts of the international community in poverty eradication, the promotion of full employment and decent work, gender equity
