It's and today we are celebrating José Celso Barbosa! 👨🏽‍⚕️José's passion to study medicine led him to New York from Puerto Rico where he wanted to pursue his education. Unfortunately, he was rejected from Columbia University due to the college not allowing students of color to be admitted, at the time. He then applied to the University of Michigan where he graduated with honors. He was the first Puerto Rican to receive a medical degree in the United States. Barbosa would then help in the aid for soldiers during the Spanish-American War where he articulated a need for employer-based health care insurance, which was unheard of for the time. Due to all of his contributions to healthcare, Barbosa is dubbed the “father of the Puerto Rican statehood movement.”💪⚕️
Thank you, José Celso Barbosa, for your contributions to healthcare! 🩺✨
