Author Mary Beth Heffernan

Mary Beth Heffernan created the PPE Portrait Project in 2014 in response to the Ebola epidemic in West Africa, where patients suffered by not seeing the human faces of their caregivers. Informed by the medical literature on the psychological effects of source isolation, the physiological impact of positive social gestures —as well as the first person narratives of recovered Ebola patients — she was invited by the Chair of Ebola Case Management to bring the project to Liberia in January, 2015.
