When I worked at @PIH, I once asked Paul Farmer what had kept him in global health when so many people become disillusioned or burned out.
His answer — “Doing hard things with friends” — embodied the ethos of @PIH and has stuck with me throughout my career. https://t.co/EJqJgTISds

I can almost single-handedly point to Dr. Paul Farmer as the reason I got involved in public health, having had the privilege of volunteering at several @PIH clinics Haiti/DR.
May his legacy remind us of outsized role that poverty and structural violence have on people’s health. https://t.co/wT77YgDhSU
