(Emily Blackwell, M.D.) MoSU-L/NLT files (hdg.: Blackwell, Emily, 1826-1910) Wikipedia, Sept. 29, 2022 (Emily Blackwell (October 8, 1826-September 7, 1910) was the second woman to earn a medical degree at what is now Case Western Reserve University. In 1857 the Blackwell sisters and Marie Zakrzewska established the New York Infirmary for Indigent Women and Children. From the beginning, Emily took responsibility for management of the infirmary and in large part for the raising of funds. For the next forty years, she managed the infirmary, overseeing surgery, nursing, and bookkeeping. Blackwell traveled to Albany to convince the legislature to provide the hospital with funds that would ensure long-term financial stability. She transformed an institution housed in a rented 16-room house into a full-fledged hospital. By 1874 the infirmary was serving over 7,000 patients annually.) |
