Join us to discuss Rough Sleepers: Dr. Jim O’Connell’s Urgent Mission to Bring Healing to Homeless People by Tracy Kidder

Upon graduating from medical school in the 1980s, Dr. Jim O’Connell deferred his plans to work in oncology, agreeing to spend one year helping to run Boston’s new Health Care for the Homeless program. The planned year turned into over three decades of work with the program, serving in both a clinic at Massachusetts General Hospital and on a mobile van, seeking out and providing care for the city’s homeless population.
