Hello, and welcome to another episode in the podcast of Union Theological Seminary in New York City. We are back with more treats. This episode features Union Medal winner Ophelia Dahl. For over twenty years, Ophelia Dahl has worked as an advocate for the health and rights of the poor. Ms. Dahl first traveled to impoverished central Haiti in 1983 to volunteer at a small eye care clinic. In Haiti she met Paul Farmer, and since then they have worked to bring health care to the destitute sick, beginning with a few small villages in Haiti's Central Plateau. The principle behind their work has been simple: everyone, whether poor or affluent, deserves to benefit from the same high standard of medical care. Partners In Health (PIH), a non-profit organization based in Boston, Mass., and dedicated to addressing health inequities and social injustice, was formally founded in 1987. Ms. Dahl, a co-founder and trustee of PIH, currently serves as its Executive Director. She has also served as chair of the PIH board since 1993. Under her leadership, PIH has forged groundbreaking successes in treating the diseases of the poor and promoting health and human rights in areas of the world that have been ravaged by political conflict, poverty, and international neglect. Today, the effectiveness of PIH's community-based model has been lauded around the world, prompting an explosion in requests to the organization to share its expertise and to play a greater role in global health advocacy. http://www.unionpodcast.org/itunes/10_06_ophelia_dahl.mp3 Wed, 06 Dec 2006 20:48:12 -0500 Christianity no 00:19:53 Union, Theological, Ophelia Dahl, Sermon, Lectures, Seminary, Godcast, Worship, Jesus, Bible, Rev itunes@unionpodcast.org (Union Theological Seminary) Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York Acceptance speech by Paul Farmer, advocate for the health and rights of the poor, co-founder of Partners in Health (PIH) Hello, and welcome to another episode in the podcast of Union Theological Seminary in New York City. It's been a long time since we last posted an episode. Fear not, faithful podcast listeners, we're back with Union Medal winner Paul Farmer. Medical anthropologist and physician Paul Farmer has dedicated his life to treating some of the world's poorest populations, in the process helping to raise the standard of health care for the destitute sick everywhere. A founding director of Partners In Health, an international organization that provides direct health care services and undertakes research and advocacy activities on behalf of those who are sick and living in poverty, Dr. Farmer and his colleagues have successfully challenged the policymakers and critics who claim that quality health care is impossible to deliver in resource-poor settings. Dr. Farmer has worked in infectious-disease control for nearly two decades and is a world-renowned authority on AIDS and tuberculosis. He is an attending physician in infectious diseases and Associate Chief of the Division of Social Medicine and Health Inequalities at the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, and medical director of the Clinique Bon Sauveur Hospital in rural Haiti, focusing on diseases that disproportionately afflict the poor. Along with his colleagues at the Brigham and in the Program in Infectious Disease and Social Change at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Farmer has pioneered community-based treatment strategies for infectious diseases (including HIV/AIDS and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR TB)) in resource-poor settings. His work in Haiti has taught him that poverty, inequality, and political turmoil lead inevitably to poor health outcomes among the vulnerable, and this belief fuels his scholarly, clinical, advocacy, and charitable activities. http://www.unionpodcast.org/itunes/12_6_06_paul_farmer.mp3 Wed, 06 Dec 2006 19:46:08 -0500 Christianity no 00:20:26 Union, Theological, Paul Farmer, Sermon, Lectures, Seminary, Godcast, Worship, Jesus, Bible, Rev itunes@unionpodcast.org (Union Theological Seminary) Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York Marcus Borg delivers Union Days 2006 Lecture, Part 2 In this podcast, Marcus Borg, the Hundere Distinguished Professor of Religion and Culture at Oregon State University, gives part 2 of a lecture from Union Days (Spring 2007). http://www.unionpodcast.org/itunes/MarcusBorg2.mp3 Thu, 12 Oct 2006 14:41:16 -0400 Christianity no 00:00:00 Union, Theological, Sermon, Lectures, Seminary, Godcast, Worship, Jesus, Bible, Rev itunes@unionpodcast.org (Union Theological Seminary) Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York Marcus Borg delivers Union Days 2006 Lecture, Part 1 In this podcast, Marcus Borg, the Hundere Distinguished Professor of Religion and Culture at Oregon State University, gives part 1 of a lecture from Union Days (Spring 2007). http://www.unionpodcast.org/itunes/MarcusBorg1.mp3 Thu, 12 Oct 2006 14:39:50 -0400 Christianity no 00:42:17 Union, Theological, Sermon, Lectures, Seminary, Godcast, Worship, Jesus, Bible, Rev itunes@unionpodcast.org (Union Theological Seminary) Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York Acceptance Address by Archbishop Desmond Tutu SPECIAL EVENT: Union Medal 2006 http://www.unionpodcast.org/itunes/desmond_tutu_sp06.m4a Wed, 11 Oct 2006 10:32:56 -0400 Christianity no 00:41:01 Union, Theological, Sermon, Lectures, Seminary, Godcast, Worship, Jesus, Bible, Rev itunes@unionpodcast.org (Union Theological Seminary) Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York Professor Larry Rasmussen delivers a lecture on Dietrich Bonhoeffer concluding Union's centennial commemoration of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's birth.
