In 2003, Dr. Paul Farmer won the Heinz Award for the Human Condition. In his acceptance speech, he said: "...As members of the world community, we must recognize that we can and should summon our collective resources to save the countless lives that were previously alleged to be beyond our help."

Of him, the Heinz Awards said: "Dr. Farmer has not only devoted his talent and energy to treating the poorest of the poor, but he has also opened the eyes of the world to the inequities in global public health. He is a man of extraordinary modesty and dedication."

Clicking the link above will give you just a short summary of Dr. Farmer's work, highlighting especially his work in Haiti fighting HIV/AIDS, and the conventional thought of the time that treatment in poor countries was impossible. A quick internet search will likely return dozens of links to information about Farmer. However, just imagine what you could learn from the man in person, when just a short paragraph on paper is so inspiring!  

CityClub is proud to be able to work together with the Washington Global Health Alliance and bring you this opportunity, free of charge. Dr. Paul Farmer will join us for am evening conversation with PATH President and CEO Chris Elias. There is no pre-registration and seating is first-come first-serve.
