Patch Adams Speaks in Philadelphia
Posted by on July 01, 2013
Patch Adams, the dynamic doctor-clown whose life story was featured in the movie starring Robin Williams, is inviting Philadelphia to host the first free clinic to serve in his spirit and name, beyond the Gesundheit! Institute in rural West Virginia., say local organizers.
He will be speaking in Philadelphia on July 23 (Drexel University College of Medicine, Geary Auditorium B; 245 N. 15th; 6:30pm) and July 24 (Mercy Neighborhood Ministries; 20th & Venango; 6:30pm). Admission is free.
For 40 years, Patch Adams has insisted that all people deserve the best health care. He travels the world to show that full healing eases both body and soul.
