Partners In Health
When our patients are ill and have no access to care, our team of health professionals, scholars, and activists will do whatever it takes to make them well — just as we would do if a member of our own families—or we ourselves—were ill.

The Chicago School of Professional Psychology used Mountains Beyond Mountains as their Book of the Year for the 2007-2008 school year. Most classes used the book as required reading :)
Brett Siegfried

Brett Siegfried As a pre-med student I was always asked what I wanted to study and where I'm going with my career. Mountains Beyond Mountains changed my ideas, thoughts and hope of the future. Paul Farmer and PIH has inspired a new view on global health in not only me, but my friends and family I can get to read MBM and Dr. Farmer's other books.

Thank you.

How can I join up? Also, is there a way in that I could receive a DVD that I may show in the college to get the students attention? I am really compelled from the documentary "I am Because We Are" and I really would like to help.

Many of the gorgeous images in this video are among those in the photo exhibit PIH created to commemorate its 20th anniversary. I urge you to bring the exhibit to your community. I did it in mine. The exhibit hung for a month in the Bozeman Public Library. We organized a community-wide read, One Book-One Bozeman, around Mountains Beyond Mountains in conjunction with the exhibit. A great way to raise awareness - and a beautiful thing to bring your community together. go for it!!
