    The Armenia Public Health Study Abroad Program at the University of
    Utah is an essential component of University's Global Health
    Initiative.

    The Study Abroad program is part of much larger public health
    collaboration between the Ministry of Health in Armenia, the American
    University of Armenia and the University of Utah. However, this
    program is key for successful partnership with Armenia, because, along
    with addressing pressing health issues in Armenia it creates awareness
    about Armenia in our academic and professional spheres, creating
    interest and drawing more intellectual assets to aid Armenia.

    This program is truly one of its kind. It uses community-based
    participatory research model as a foundation of projects, and engages
    in community partnerships that focus on collaboration and sustainable
    outcomes. In other words, instead of only handing out humanitarian
    aid, our goal is to produce positive, measurable improvements among
    populations experiencing health inequalities by training, educating
    and mentoring local professionals while we address pressing health
    issues in Armenia.

    Hripsime Zatikyan Wright, a faculty member at the University of Utah
    and BYU established the Armenia Public Health Study Abroad Program. As
    a survivor of Armenia earthquake she has firsthand experience in
    catastrophic public health situations, and has aimed her professional
    experience and this program to improving the quality of life and
    reducing preventable sickness and death in Armenia.

    For the program to have a lasting impact it needs your help and
    support. The project faces cancellation due to insufficient
    enrollment. All contributions are tax deductible and should be made to
    the Division of Public Health at The University of Utah. The Armenia
    Study Abroad program is a tremendous opportunity to make a lasting and
    sustainable difference in many lives in Armenia and promoting Armenian
    Studies and potentially a center at the University of Utah. Please
    join us in supporting this valuable resource for promoting health in
    Armenia.
