✨ This , we celebrate trailblazer Dr. Lori Arviso Alvord (Diné/Navajo) — the first Navajo woman to become a board-certified surgeon.

Dr. Alvord blends Navajo healing traditions with modern surgical practice. Her work reminds us that medicine isn’t only about science — it’s also about spirit, culture, and human connection.

Her story continues to inspire future generations of healers, leaders, and changemakers. 🌿💙
