What if all of Beaverton read the same book?

Please join us for the signature event of Beaverton City Library’s One Book, One Beaverton, a visit with Dr. Jim O’Connell, the inspirational subject of Tracy Kidder’s most recent book, Rough Sleepers. Dr. O’Connell is a founding physician of Boston Health Care for the Homeless and has spent his 40-year medical career serving unhoused patients, including “rough sleepers” who sleep on the streets. To treat their many illnesses, Dr. O’Connell emphasizes a style of medicine in which patients come first, joined with their providers in what he calls “a system of friends.”
