The Heart of Nuba: Screening and Panel with Dr. Tom Catena
11:45 AM - 2:30 PM

Welcome to the war-torn Nuba Mountains of Sudan, where American doctor Tom Catena selflessly and courageously serves the needs of a forgotten people, as the region is bombed relentlessly by an indicted war criminal, Omar Al-Bashir. Two things remain constant: Dr. Tom’s faith and his enduring love for the Nuba people.

Join Women's Campaign International and the Aurora Humanitarian Initiative at Perry World House for a panel on global health as well as a screening of The Heart of Nuba. The Heart of Nuba is a film highlighting Dr. Tom's work as a missionary and surgeon in Sudan. Our distinguished panelists will include:

- Dr. Tom Catena, the new Chair of the Aurora Prize for Awakening Humanity and a previous recipient of the prize.

- Antonia Villarruel, PhD, Dean of the number one nursing school in the world at the University of Pennsylvania, and a pioneering nurse-researcher improving the health of underserved Latino communities.

- Jennifer Prah Ruger, PhD, a leading scholar of global and domestic health policy and public health at the University of Pennsylvania, and creator of the health capability paradigm.

- The Hon. Marjorie Margolies, Moderator, President of Women's Campaign International and former member of Congress from Pennsylvania
