‘I’ll share your fate for awhile’ — and by awhile I don’t mean a little while.

About
Accompaniment is an expansive idea, encompassing both the moral center of social medicine and a pragmatic tool for global health delivery. In honor of our friend, colleague, and accompagnateur Paul Farmer, a proseminar from partners at Harvard Medical School, Partners in Health, and Brigham and Women’s Hospital about the meaning and practice of accompaniment.
