Changing the Face of Medicine

Local Legends

Across America, women physicians demonstrate commitment and creativity in their chosen specialties. To recognize them, members of the United States Congress have nominated outstanding physicians from their home states or districts. These Local Legends have made exceptional contributions to the profession and the public in one of four categories: public health and/or military service, health policy making, research and education, and patient care.
