Timothy P. Flanigan, M.D. ’16Hon., ’18G — The humanities and health crises

Timothy P. Flanigan, M.D. '16Hon., '18G, the former chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases at Brown University's Warren Alpert Medical School, presented this year's Fiondella Lecture. He shared stories from the front lines of the HIV, Ebola, and COVID health crises, describing how the humanities helped him through these challenging experiences.

In 2016, Flanigan received an honorary degree from Providence College for his efforts in public health and service to the Diocese of Providence. In 2018, he completed a graduate degree in theology from PC, which he started while studying to become a deacon.

The Fiondella Lecture was made possible by the generosity of Robert W. Fiondella '64, '16Hon. and Carolyn Fiondella.
