After being rejected by all the leading medical schools, Miss Blackwell was accepted by Geneva Medical College where she graduated first in her class in 1849, becoming the first woman doctor to graduate from medical school and the first woman doctor of medicine in the modern era.
In addition to starting medical schools for women, she was a social activist working to make the lives of women and children better. Besides the obvious challenges she faced, she lost an eye and had to let go of her dream of becoiming the first woman surgeon. Her story is fast moving, riveting and full of inspiration.

And women are talking about our Health Education Program (HER).
We would like to share a few of the comments we have received about our classes and wellness coaching, all part of our Health Education Program.
“My husband attended the class with me in order to better understand the pain and side effects of my two conditions. We came away from the class feeling more optimistic about my future than we had dared to before.”
Living Well participant
“It has been very helpful for me. I have started walking, stretching, and using additional strategies taught in the class in order to become a self- manager of my diabetes”
Living Well participant
“The most valuable part of coaching calls are they are convenient and very helpful in establishing, working on, and attaining weekly and monthly goals”.
Wellness coaching client
“COACHING WORKS!! You're worth it. It's so beneficial to learn how to establish, follow through and maintain goals. I have learned how to implement a healthier lifestyle with a 30 min. session once a week. It's amazing how simple it is”.
Wellness coaching client
“I enjoy the foods I eat much more, the pleasantness of the food and the occasion lingers. More important than the food itself though, is the feelings of wellbeing that makes me feel good and satisfied”.
Am I Hungry? participant
“Thank you for being such a great coach! You are very patient, nonjudgmental and you don’t talk too much. What I mean is, you get to the point and leave it to us to ponder, take in, draw our own conclusions relevant to us and our own unique situations without over explaining so the point gets lost in the process”.

"In the mid-1990s, Dr. Michelle Berlin started hearing murmurs among her medical colleagues of a vaccine for human papillomavirus, or HPV.
The topic appeared in medical journals, raising hope for the Portland physician who spends her days treating women with cervical cancer or its precursors. “I hoped it would change my job because I would see fewer women with precancer and cancer of the cervix,” she said.
A decade later, Berlin calls it a crucial tool of her trade. She’s transforming her patients into advocates."
