More memories:
One year, our GHI spring break team was invited to a ball 🎩 🤵👸at the British Ambassador’s residence. 🇬🇧

And we went.

There we were — surrounded by ambassadors and business leaders, sipping champagne with gold flakes 🥂— while preparing to travel to Guatemala for a service trip.

It was surreal, even ironic. But holding those two worlds at once — the privilege and the purpose — made the experience richer, more honest, and more human.

🌎 A look back at GHI 2019: service, culture, scholarship, and plenty of joy by Lake Atitlán. ✈️Make your Spring Break '26 unforgettable with the GHI Global Community Health Immersion Week!

Back in 2019, students explored Lake Atitlán, worked alongside community partners, and experienced Kakchikel Maya traditions. Some even returned in the summer to continue global health internships built on what they started.
This spring, it’s your turn—learn, serve, and grow in Guatemala with GHI.

📢 Registration for the Global Community Health Immersion Week opens soon—don’t miss it! Travel March 7-15 2026.

🇬🇹👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️ For 70 years, Guatemala’s Ministry of Health (MSPAS) and Roosevelt Hospital have trained generations of outstanding physicians—from medical students to specialists like cardiologists and countless others—who serve communities across the country.
Now, god willing, a new chapter is beginning: MSPAS, together with partners like IGSS, URL, and USAC, will soon launch a Family Medicine training program. 🌱
GHI looks forward to partnering in this historic step to strengthen primary care and expand access to health for all Guatemalans.



🇬🇹👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️ Durante 70 años, el Ministerio de Salud Pública y Asistencia Social (MSPAS) y el Hospital Roosevelt han formado a generaciones de médicos destacados —desde estudiantes de medicina hasta especialistas como cardiólogos y muchos más— que sirven a comunidades en todo el país.

Ahora, ojala que comienza un nuevo capítulo: el MSPAS, junto con socios como el IGSS, la URL y la USAC, pronto lanzará un programa de formación en 😍Medicina Familiar. 🌱

GHI espera con entusiasmo colaborar en este paso histórico para fortalecer la atención primaria y ampliar el acceso a la salud para todos los guatemaltecos.

✨ 7,000 prenatal visits and nearly 4,000 home visits — that’s impact worth celebrating! ✨

Our very first project with Asociación K’aslimaal focused on understanding maternal health needs to improve outcomes. Today, that vision continues with mobile prenatal clinics in rural areas, where care is brought directly to families who need it most.

One of the providers is Dra. Erin Basset-Novoa, who first traveled to Santiago as a GHI student and now continues the work she helped build.

This is what collaboration can achieve. 💙

🌱☕ From cherry to cup! Join GHI students as they experience coffee picking in Guatemala—spring or late fall trips—from the deep red cherries on the branch, to the hand-cranked defruiting machine, to drying and preparing the beans for roasting.

It’s hard work with dirty hands—but so rewarding! Students learn the value of precise hand-based labor, connect with communities, and see first-hand the journey that fuels the world’s coffee addiction.

Pick your cherries, learn about global health, and maybe later taste the coffee made from your own hands! We often can bring back the roasted coffee that GHI students pick on a later trip. Coffee season is the US winter season..
