Bending the Arc: The Journey Continues
Global Spotlight: Partners in HealthPartners In Health: The Journey Continues In the 1980s, Dr. Paul Farmer, Dr. Jim Yong Kim, activist Ophelia Dahl, Todd McCormack, and investor Thomas White began a movement that changed global health forever.
Treating patients who had been abandoned by the health establishment, they developed through Partners In Health (PIH) a community health model that saved millions of lives in the developing world.
Their fight became a global battle in the highest halls of power for the right to health for all.
Join PIH co-founder Todd McCormack, their CEO Sheila Davis, and Dr. Anatole Manzi to learn the challenges and opportunities for global health now and in the future.
This event will begin at 5 pm with a pre-screening reception with PIH representatives.
At 5:30 pm, we will screen Bending the Arc, the riveting documentary that shows how moral imagination, strategy, and sheer force of will can change the trajectory of the world.
After the screening, our panelists will discuss the film and their work followed by an audience Q&A.
