About

Global Health Connections International, a nonprofit organization headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, serves as a clearinghouse for education and career opportunities in STEAM and global health. As a conduit between humanitarian advocates, GHCI seeks to provide solutions for healthy living in all communities around the world.​

Get to Know Us

Founded in 2011 by retired Dow Chemical executive, Enrico "Rick" Copeland, GHCI acknowledges the need for more professionals in the global health sector and the lack of racial and ethnic minorities filling those roles. While traveling to Africa, India, and South America, Mr. Copeland envisioned building a student and professional STEAM pipeline to provide opportunities for traditionally underserved and underrepresented communities. 

Mission

To eradicate education, health, and economic disparities in the community, GHCI continues to establish an international advocacy network. We build education programs and leverage partnerships with academia, business, government, and other non-government organizations (NGOs) to create STEAM activities and opportunities for traditionally underrepresented and underserved middle school students.
