In honor of Black History Month, Partners in Health and Biz recognizes the achievements of 12 trailblazers in health sciences and wellness.

These pioneering men and women helped change the course of healthcare and race relations in the United States. They invented first-of-their-kind medical devices, developed innovative surgical procedures, paved the way for improved patient access to quality care, and raised awareness about quality-of-life issues.

Their legacies live on in hospitals and clinics, doctors’ offices, schools, universities, and research laboratories.

Join talk show host Gail Dixon-McBride as she share the history of some of the most prominent and outstanding African-American individuals who have help to make this country great.
