Our History

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 pipeline to supply under-served populations with the next cadre of global health professionals.
