Ellen Einterz

If you think your typical workday is challenging, imagine being a doctor and facing roadblocks such as extreme poverty, political and economic corruption, and violent religious extremism from groups including Boko Haram. Dr. Ellen Einterz dealt with these and other trials as she worked to build a hospital and a women’s economic development center in northern Cameroon. Hosted by the Green Mountain Returned Peace Corps Volunteers, the humanitarian and health care professional delivers a personal account of her experiences in the talk “Life and Death in Kolofata: An American Doctor in Africa.”
