Today the foundation’s staff and volunteers work around the world improving lives through several initiatives, including the Clinton Health Access Initiative, which is helping 4.5 million people living with HIV/AIDS have access to lifesaving drugs.
“We are excited and honored to have President Clinton speak at the Annual Session,” said Dr. Michael Blicher, 2013 chair for the Council on ADA Sessions. “I believe his charitable work and experiences can inspire all dentists, no matter what their political beliefs are.”
In addition to his foundation work, President Clinton is the author of three books, “Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World,” his memoir “My Life” and the New York Times bestseller “Back to Work.” Born in Hope, Ark., President Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, have one daughter, Chelsea, and live in Chappaqua, N.Y.
