A Life-Long Commitment to Social Justice

2008-2009 CCPH Board Chair Barbara (Bobby) Gottlieb is a primary care internist at Brookside Community Health Center in Jamaica Plain, MA, where she has worked since 1981. In addition to her patient care responsibilities, she develops clinical and public health programs and coordinates medical student and resident teaching activities, coordinates research activities and serves as a liaison to academically based researchers and research projects. A faculty member at Harvard, she teaches service-learning courses and mentors medical and public health students.

For Bobby, "The biggest challenge is working in a world with so many threats to dignity and social justice. As a child of my parents, and a child of the 1960's, I grew up surrounded by individuals, and a historical context that valued and supported social justice. I had no idea how brief a moment in history that would be. So much energy is spent trying to hold on to hard-won gains - civil rights, women's rights, reproductive rights, etc." Bobby deeply believes it is possible to find the answers to our deepest social problems, from peace and meaningful conflict resolution in Rwanda, to solutions to the profound poverty and devastation of Haiti.
