Do you find it hard to find time to read? Do you need new inspiration for your work in public health? Would you like the opportunity to meet others working in the field in Arizona?

Join the AzPHA virtual book club! We’ll meet once a month via Zoom to discuss books about the field and get know each other better. The first book is “Mountains Beyond Mountains” by Tracy Kidder. The first 30 people to sign up will receive a free copy. 

The book summary: 

In medical school, Paul Farmer found his life’s calling: to cure infectious diseases and to bring the lifesaving tools of modern medicine to those who need them most. Tracy Kidder’s magnificent account shows how one person can make a difference in solving global health problems through a clear-eyed understanding of the interaction of politics, wealth, social systems, and disease. 

Profound and powerful, Mountains Beyond Mountains takes us from Harvard to Haiti, Peru, Cuba, and Russia as Farmer changes people’s minds through his dedication to the philosophy that “the only real nation is humanity”.

Sign up by emailing AzPHA President Elect: Kellidonley@gmail.com

Meeting dates to be determined. We hope you’ll join us for this great opportunity to continue to learn and meet new colleagues.
