🌸 Women Physicians: Then & Now
In 1849, the first woman physician in the United States earned her medical degree - at a time when women were largely excluded from medicine.
That milestone opened the door, slowly and with resistance, for women to pursue medical training, leadership, and careers dedicated to caring for others.
Today, women physicians care for generations of families, train future physicians, lead meducal practices and shape medical care and health in the community.
At Orchard Park Pediatrics, that legacy lives on through our women Board-Certified Pediatricians, whose entire medical training is dedicated to children - and whose care is shaped by both deep expertise and compassion.
And every journey starts somewhere…
Can you guess which of our Pediatricians these babies grew up to be? We’ve added 2 more so we have all 4 of our current Women our Medical Doctors.
(We’ll reveal soon - you can change your vote if you want- keep guessing!)
💙Caring for families from one generation to the next.
