In 2012, the Global Health Program was established through the Western Connecticut Health Network (WCHN) in conjunction with the Larner College of Medicine, strengthening an already flourishing relationship with the College that sends dozens of medical students to Danbury Hospital each year for clinical rotations. The exchange of knowledge between WCHN and the Larner College of Medicine has fostered the rapid growth of the Global Health Program. The Kilimanjaro Climb was led by Dr. Majid Sadigh, the Christian J. Trefz Family Endowed Chair in Global Health at WCHN, and the Director of Global Health at the University of Vermont Larner College of Medicine, along with his daughters, Katrin and Mitra. They began their climb on July 28.
