President Jimmy Carter
March 31, 2015
In a last-minute switch, former President Jimmy Carter stepped in for his wife Rosalynn Carter (who came down with a bug) and appeared at the University of Florida Phillips Center for the Performing Arts.
The topic of the speech remained as planned, a discussion on mental illness. President Carter spoke about his wife’s book, Within Our Reach: Ending the Mental Health Crisis. His speech was followed by a question and answer session, moderated by Dr. Nancy Hardt, professor and former director for Health Disparities at the University of Florida College of Medicine.
The program was presented in cooperation with Accent Speakers Bureau.
