McMaster University recently unveiled the Mary Heersink School of Global Health and Social Medicine. Established using part of Mary and Marnix Heersink’s $32M donation to McMaster, the new school will advance global health and social medicine research, education, and humanitarian work. It will especially focus on populations at risk, human migration, planetary health, and food and health equity. The new school will introduce several new initiatives, including a humanitarian and service delivery program; a diploma in global surgery; a social medicine and entrepreneurship community program; and a global health fellowship program.
