🌍 Global Collaboration in Action!

We’re thrilled to share that Valley Health System partnered with WMI this year to welcome our 2025 Scholar Ambassadors, Dr. Onesai Chiguvare and Dr. Isaac Yeboah — both medical professionals from Zimbabwe and Ghana, respectively, who are transforming healthcare in their communities. 💙

During their visit to Valley Hospital in Paramus, NJ, scholar ambassadors shadowed medical professionals, explored advanced technologies, and exchanged ideas to strengthen healthcare access and equity around the world.

This collaboration celebrates the power of partnership to advance global health, leadership, and lifelong learning. 🚀💫

Thank you to Valley Health for making this professional development opportunity possible for our scholars!
