The Jefferson Center for Refugee Health, Jefferson Department of
Emergency Medicine, and the Jefferson Medical College student group
Refugee Health Partners are hosting the 2nd annual Global Health
Conference- Communities at Work on May 5th!
We are excited to feature Lily Yeh as the keynote speaker. She is the
founder of Barefoot Artists, Inc, a nonprofit arts organization based
in Philadelphia that uses the power of art to transform impoverished
communities. The conference will also include a panel of refugees
living in Philadelphia who will share their stories, as well as a
panel of healthcare and social service providers for the refugee
community. There will also be a PhotoVoice presentation that examines
resettlement stressors of refugees in Philadelphia through their own
photographs (http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/video?id=8550126&syndicate=syndicate§ion).
The conference will take place Saturday May 5th at Thomas Jefferson
University in Bluemle 101 Auditorium (Bluemle Life Sciences Building,
233 South 10th Street). Registration and breakfast/coffee will be at
8:30 and the conference will start at 9:00am. Feel free to contact

attached.
