Event Description

Join us in celebrating National Immigration Heritage Month with a presentation by author Dr. Ghazi Rayan, a first-generation immigrant American orthopedic surgeon. His non-fiction books focus on the impact of immigrants and legal immigration throughout American history. Immigrants transcended borders to enrich their adopted country and left a lasting imprint on the American landscape of progress. Their efforts are woven into the fabric of the American tapestry and have improved the quality of lives for countless Americans.

This PowerPoint presentation combines the history of medicine and storytelling of many leading first-generation immigrant physicians, inventors and intellectuals, men and women, who made groundbreaking contributions and medical innovations that laid the foundation of modern America.
