Barry RN is a nurse practitioner and holds a Masters in Public Health.
She is the Director of Advocacy and Policy at the Boston headquarters of

Partners
In Health was founded by Dr. Paul Farmer in 1987. Its partner
organization in Haiti, Zanmi Lasante, is one of the leading health care
providers in the country. The two are strong voices for sovereignty and
social justice for the Haitian people. They work closely with the
Ministry of Health of the Government of Haiti in promoting a model of
free and publicly accessible health services. The
story of the founding of Partners In Health and its work in Haiti is
told in the 2004 biography of Dr. Paul Farmer, "Mountains Beyond
Mountains", by Tracy Kidder.
