Join us at the Alliance for a presentation of Akshay Rao’s new book: Patient: A Humorous Memoir of Healthcare and Healing. The author will be discussing the inspiration, journey, and insights behind his latest work. Akshay R. Rao, Ph.D. is a professor and General Mills Chair in Marketing at the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management.


ABOUT THE BOOK

"Patient" is a quirky and humorous journey through the American healthcare system, the author's unexpected hospitalization with acute renal failure following a seemingly mild case of COVID-19. With humor and touching moments, the book reminds us to stay hopeful, accepting, and compassionate, urging readers to think about life's ever-changing nature and the significance of understanding others' challenges.

The book is available for purchase in La Boutique. Both hardcover and softcover copies are available.

Complimentary beverages and hors d’oeuvres will be provided.
Registration is therefore encouraged so we have enough!
