BWH's Division of Social Medicine and Health Inequalities was featured on the cover of the April 3 Parade magazine. Division Chief Paul Farmer, MD, Co-Chief Howard Hiatt, MD, and Drs. Jim Yong Kim, Keith Joseph, David Walton, Jennifer Furin, Heidi Behforouz, Michael Rich and Salmaan Keshavjee were showcased in the cover story in the magazine which boasts a worldwide circulation of more than 37 million through 343 Sunday newspapers.
Writer Tracy Kidder, who authored the book “Mountains Beyond Mountains” which explores the work of Farmer and his colleagues, examined how this “cadre of dedicated physicians” brings topnotch health care to some of the poorest parts of the world including Haiti and Peru, in addition to tending to some of Boston's poorest residents. These talented BWH doctors are “tackling the world's ills, patient by patient,” the Parade headline declared.
