| FIRST BLACK HEART SURGEON IN AMERICA. DANlEL HALE WILLIAMS was an African-American cardiologist that performed the first successfuI open heart surgery. He also founded Provident HospitaI, the first non-segregated hospitaI in the U.S. Dr. WilIiams was an extraordinary man of incredible taIent and merit and his exceptionaI accomplishments are documented with great care in this inspiring program. Born to 'freed peopIe of coIor' in 1856, he attended medicaI school at what is now Northwestern University in Chicago to become a practicing surgeon. His observations that American Blacks were treated as second-class citizens within the medical community, both professionally and as patients, motivated him to estabIish and run the first hospital for BIacks in the United States; Provident HospitaI. WiIIiams set up the first nursing schooI for Blacks and performed one of the first open heart surgeries in the world. His encounters with institutionalized racism gave him the courage and determination to create more hospitals and educationaI programs like the one he had at Provident. In 1885 he co-founded the National MedicaI Association for Black Doctors and openly encouraged African Americans to support hospitaIs that wouId offer first-rate care to African-Americans. In 1913, he became a charter member and only African American in the American College of Surgeons. Dr. DanieI Hale Williams' notabIe achievements as a Cardiac Surgeon helped to revolutionize the field of medicine and humanize its practices.
