Global Health and Humanitarian Summit – Dr. Neil Shulman (4/1)

Humanitarian, MD at Emory University, Dr. Shulmanwrote 'Doc Hollywood.' His idea is to have non-profits get together and spearheaded 3 Global Health and Humanitarian Summits (GHHS).

This has huge potential because it brings together students and the nonprofits and doctors, a project that brings a lot of people together. Barbara Marx Hubbard spoke last year at the GHHS.
