The Doctors Without Borders Story
Dr. Richard Heinzl Has Major Impact
at University of Minnesota
As the founder of Doctors Without Borders,
Canada, Dr. Richard Heinzl has seen firsthand the good that
can come from the work of a few, dedicated individuals.
That message resonates clearly with college audiences --
as was apparent in his recent visit to the campus of the
University of Minnesota. The event organizer said that
"There was a very deep appreciation for having been
present while Richard was speaking. There was also a sense
that he brought something very special to each and every
one of us individually and collectively. He was a gift!
