Founded in 2010, GlobeMed at the University of Rochester is one of 46 GlobeMed chapters nationwide and partners “Kallpa Iquitos” in Iquitos, Peru to support programs that bring together youth and adults in Iquitos to develop creative and innovative solutions that improve the health, education, and quality of life within their communities. The national GlobeMed model emphasizes long-term partnerships and working alongside the developing communities to create sustainable change.
