Dr. Pedro Jose Joe Greer, Jr., chair of the Wertheim College of Medicines Department of Humanities, Health & Society, accepted the nations highest civilian honor the Presidential Medal of Freedom in a ceremony at the White House Aug. 12. Less than 24 hours later, the Miami native was back home and in the halls of HLS II, preparing for a lecture with the colleges medical students and a tour of the neighborhoods where the students will eventually work with medically-underserved families as part of the Green Family Medicine & Society Program.
Before beginning his lecture, Greer spent a few minutes speaking on-camera with News@FIU. By turns joking and serious, he talked about what this latest honor means to him, the impetus behind his work, how the homeless landscape has or hasnt been altered in the last 25 years, and how the future physicians that graduate from the Wertheim College of Medicine can change the world.
