I’m with Dr. William Foege, senior fellow with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. He’s credited with eradicating smallpox. (Dr. Foege’s 6’7;” I’m 5’6!”) Seattle, June 2011.
SEATTLE IS FILLED with passionate advocates for global health. They are doctors, scientists, philanthropists, and students. They are hard-core workers and dedicated volunteers, academics and action-makers.
Some are utterly world-class in dedicating their lives to a single global health issue – like eradicating smallpox – while others are utterly new, wanting to participate in something so much more significant than their own singular lives…
GLOBAL HEALTH SEATTLEITES: MAKING A DIFFERENCE
(people I’ve actually met)
Encounters with these dedicated Seattleites range from meeting smallpox eradicator Dr. William Foege and discussing his new book, to the serendipity of being seated at a dinner between the founders of PATH, with two hours to ask them questions.
