Dr. Paul Farmer Speaks at NSU

On Friday, May 15, Physicians for Peace will bring its biennial Global Health Forum to Norfolk State University. The keynote speaker will be Dr. Paul Farmer, founding director of Partners in Health and noted medical anthropologist and physician. Partners in Health is an international non-profit organization that provides direct health care services for people who are sick and living in poverty. What a noble cause -- using one's skills to help mankind. This work truly does transform lives and communities. The May 15 Global Health Forum will also feature panel discussions that range from building collaborative partnerships within existing programs to technology and training. We're expecting a full house at the L. Douglas Wilder Performing Arts Center on the NSU campus. There are many hurting people in the world and organizations like Physicians for Peace and Partners in Health do a lot to help ease the suffering globally. Reserve your seat today for the Physicians for Peace Global Health Forum. Perhaps you'll get some ideas on how you can help.
