About

The Center for Community and Global Health (CCGH) at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine is committed to health equity that extends across borders and populations. Our faculty and staff work collaboratively with community partners, across multiple departments and disciplines, to advance interprofessional learning.

The CCGH provides students with the opportunity to participate in a dynamic seminar series, to serve through longitudinal field experience, and to engage in scholarly activity through mentored research projects. Through these experiences, they gain a better understanding of the social and political factors that impact the health of our most vulnerable patient populations. They also become empowered to advocate for their patients both in and out of the clinical setting.

Inspired by the many individuals and organizations that strive for sustainable and equitable health for ALL patients, we welcome potential collaborations to advance our overarching mission of social justice, health equity, and service to others. Together, we are advocates for change.
