About the Relationship:
The Houston Grampian Association has several active programs. Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen and Houston Baptist University College of Nursing have participated in a student exchange program since 1995. This two-week program enables peers from each visiting country to understand how nursing care is provided in their Sister City’s country. The program’s participants focus on identifying the perception of health and health care problems in the country visited, and the delivery of health care within the international community.
Every two years there is an outbound or inbound exchange between the Houston and Grampian Region which provides business networking opportunities. In September 2006, the Houston Grampian Association hosted a delegation from the Grampian Region. In September 2004, a delegation traveled to the Grampian Region to join in the festivities for the 25th anniversary of the relationship.
