Washington Policy Center (WPC), is proud to announce Dr. Ben Carson, former Housing and Urban Development Secretary and renowned neurosurgeon will be a keynote speaker at our Annual Dinner Event which takes place at the Davenport Grand in Spokane on October 15, 2021. Dr. Carson was catapulted into national prominence as a surgeon in 1997 when he and an international team accomplished the first completely successful separation of type two vertical craniopagus twins in South Africa. The twins were joined at the top of the head and facing in opposite directions. They are living without neurological complications. After retiring from medicine, Dr. Carson launched a presidential run and became the 17th United States Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) while serving the Trump Administration.
