Healthcare history has a lot of names worth knowing. 📚💙
Dr. Antonia Novello made history in 1990 as the first woman and first Hispanic person to serve as U.S. Surgeon General.
Dr. Helen Rodríguez-Trías shaped public health through decades of work in pediatrics, reproductive health and health equity and became the first Latina president of the American Public Health Association.
This Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re celebrating the people whose work helped change healthcare far beyond the exam questions. 🙌
