In celebration of Black History Month, let's celebrate Dr. Daniel Hale Williams. He was a visionary surgeon who performed one of the world's first successful open-heart surgeries, shattering barriers in American medicine.

Who He Was
Dr. Daniel Hale Williams (1856–1931) was an African American physician, educator, and surgeon who founded the first Black-owned hospital in the U.S. Born in Pennsylvania, he trained amid rampant racism. Undeterred by this, Dr. Williams opened Provident Hospital in Chicago in 1891 to train Black interns and serve underprivileged communities.

Historical Significance
In 1893, Dr. Williams made medical history by successfully repairing a pericardium injury in a stabbing case at Provident Hospital, marking the first recorded survival of open-heart surgery, decades before modern methods were developed. Despite naysayers and segregation, his accomplishments demonstrated Black excellence in surgery and created an integrated medical environment.

Lasting Legacy
Dr. Williams' contributions to cardiac surgery, hospital integration, and first aid equality continue to influence medical practitioners and best practices to this day. His legacy demonstrates that Black trailblazers literally save hearts.

In celebration of Black History Month, let's honor Dr. Charles Drew. He was a brilliant surgeon whose blood plasma innovations revolutionized medicine and saved millions of lives worldwide.

Who He Was
Dr. Charles Richard Drew (1904–1950) was a pioneering African American physician, surgeon, and researcher who made a significant contribution to the medical world by establishing blood banks during the Second World War.

Historical Importance
Dr. Drew began his blood bank research at Presbyterian Hospital, leading him to develop a process to extend the shelf life of blood plasma. He later became the medical director of the "Blood for Britain Program", a collaboration between the American Red Cross and its partners. After the program’s success, Dr. Drew made history as the first African American surgeon to serve as an examiner for the American Board of Surgery and as the inaugural director of the American Red Cross Blood Bank in New York. He also developed mobile blood donation units, laying the foundations for what we now call bloodmobiles, a system that transformed how blood is collected and lives are saved around the world.

Lasting Impact
The foundation of the blood bank by Dr. Drew paved the way for the establishment of blood transfusion procedures, blood donation camps, and first-aid techniques, which are used today.

In celebration of Black History Month, let’s honor Goldie D. Brangman. She broke barriers in the medical field and laid the foundation for future nurse anesthetists.

Who She Was
Goldie D. Brangman (1917 - 2020) was an avid Red Cross volunteer and later graduated from the nursing program at the Harlem Hospital Center in 1943. Her life was dedicated to the advancement of nursing education, patient care, and professional opportunities for others.

Historical Importance
Goldie Brangman’s life was truly barrier-breaking. In 1951, she co-founded and served as the longtime director of the Harlem Hospital School of Nurse Anesthesia, one of the only programs in the country that accepted students of color, men, and foreign nationals during a segregated time. She was an essential part of the surgical team that treated Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. after an assassination attempt in 1958, literally bagging his breath as they saved his life during surgery, as she was a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. Later, she would become the first African-American president of the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists (AANA) in 1973.

Lasting Impact
Brangman’s legacy exists in the nurses she has educated and mentored over the years, who are still out there serving communities. She played a significant role in diversifying the field of anesthesia and nursing. Even after retirement, she continued to serve the community by volunteering with the Red Cross in her later years. Today, there are awards and scholarships named after her to ensure that her legacy lives on in the field of medicine that she helped shape.

In celebration of Black History Month, let's honor the trailblazing Freedom House Ambulance Service. They were pioneers who revolutionized emergency care in America.

Launched in 1967 in the predominantly black Hill District of Pittsburgh, Freedom House was a civil rights project staffed entirely by black paramedics, most recruited from the black community, including veterans and the unemployed. They were assisted by professionals like the "Father of CPR", Dr. Peter Safar, in developing the historic 32-week training program, which included advanced medical skills such as intubation, defibrillation, CPR, and IV therapy, and went far beyond basic first aid.

Historical Importance
In an era marked by racial tensions and poor emergency response in the black community, Freedom House filled the gap created by the slow response of police ambulances to emergency calls. They accomplished this by responding to emergency calls within 10 minutes. In their first year, Freedom House responded to almost 5,800 calls and saved 200 lives. In the face of racism from the medical community, their compassionate service was in such high demand that police departments requested their service, with their ambulances being used to provide ICU-level care.

Lasting Impact
In operation until 1975, Freedom House developed the template for modern paramedic training, ambulance development, and emergency medical service, which is used today across the world.

If someone is choking but can forcefully cough, encourage them to keep coughing. This could naturally remove the object. If they can't cough or talk, then act fast and give first aid.
