WGHA’s Pioneers of Global Health awards recognize the people and organizations in Washington working relentlessly to improve health around the world. It’s rugged work that demands creativity, humility, and persistence. And it’s usually done under the radar. But once a year, WGHA shines a spotlight on the people, dedication, and innovation that runs Washington’s global health ecosystem every day.
