Asian Pacific Islander Special Emphasis Month Observance

Time: 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Great Hall Humphrey Building
200 Independence Ave SW
Washington, DC

Kick Off Event

Featured Speaker:

Karen Kasmauski National Geographic photographer for global health stories, such as the worldwide struggle against disease, the search for an AIDS cure, the mysteries of aging, and female reproductive health. Although she is extremely conversant in the science behind the stories, her work is anything but abstract or academic. Rather, she finds the personal stories behind the headlines, blending a warm human sensitivity with a photographer's eye for detail to distill global issues into resonant images.

Recently, Kasmauski completed a book on the worldwide nursing crisis, Nurse: A World of Care. As she did with her earlier book, Impact: From the Frontlines of Global Health, Kasmauski tells stories of dedicated medical professionals-“front line soldiers” in the war against suffering and disease-from the frozen rivers of Alaska to the slums of Nairobi.

Target Audience: All HHS Employees
