How Susan La Flesche Picotte Became America’s First Native Woman Doctor – Then Built The Hospital Her People Had Been Denied
Are rural communities still underserved?
Are institutions still listening when Native communities say what they need?
Susan’s building keeps the questions open.
The Woman Who Could Have Left Never Really Did
Susan La Flesche Picotte died young enough that it is easy to imagine an alternate life.
If she had remained on the East Coast after medical school, she might have built a prestigious private practice.
She might have taught.
She might have become a nationally famous reformer earlier.
She might have lived with better access to physicians and hospitals for her own health.
No one can know.
