During February we'll create portraits of unique Black and African Americans who have made a significant contribution to science and medicine.
Let's start with reaking racial and gender barriers! Covatar opens Black History Month by commemorating one of the most exemplary physician-scientists of modern medicine, Dr. Jane Cooke Wright.
Dr. Jane was the first-ever African American woman to be given the position of associate dean in a nationally recognized medical institution.
She was able to bend racial and gender barriers during her time by revolutionizing cancer research and treatments. To this date, we are still using her research to enhance medical care and patient treatment outcomes further.
FYI, February is also National Cancer Prevention Month. You can help by raising cancer awareness starting today!
