Guest speaker and fellow Rotarian, Dr. Johnny Rullan, has been a club member since 1999 and served as President in 2008-09. A graduate of Robinson School with degrees from Northwestern and UPR Medical School and a Masters in Public Health from Johns Hopkins University , our speaker's specialty is Epidemiology and he has applied his knowledge all over the world.
His topic at our meeting was the Zika Epidemic in Puerto Rico today. Using a concise visual presentation, Dr. Rullan questioned the complacency of officials in the face of what could have a devastating affect on a generation of babies born on the island.
There was a full page article Thursday, October 20 in El Nuevo Dia, bringing Johnny's message to the general public.
