Global Health Institute

As president and executive director of the Global Health Council (GHC), Loyce Pace has ample experience facilitating connections among the many strategically and ideologically diverse member organizations of GHC. In a conversation with Pace and global health-minded members of the Georgetown community on February 12, 2019, a common theme was the need to foster and balance dynamic relationships in the field, especially in challenging times of political tension.

Loyce Pace, president and executive director of the Global Health Council (GHC), shared her work at Georgetown University on February 12, 2019. Armed with a degree in science from Stanford University, Pace developed a passion for addressing global health needs in her hometown of Los Angeles. She drew insight from her groundwork in over 10 countries as she engaged with populations in schools, hospitals, and even laundromats. Understanding the lives behind the “dollars and cents,” or health statistics that are the standard focus of negotiations in Washington, D.C., has driven Pace into advocacy work.
