At Queen’s we are part of the Public Health Brigades — a local and international movement of university students working to improve health conditions in the developing world.
We support public health through fundraising, awareness, and community engagement. Our members organize initiatives to fund health projects, host conferences to spark dialogue on global health issues, and partner with local organizations to promote sustainable impact within our community.
