In 1849, Elizabeth Blackwell became the first woman to earn a medical degree. More than 175 years later, medicine has come a long way, but for women physicians, there is still room for growth.

At Adventist HealthCare, we are proud to work with many women physicians who care for our communities. They come from diverse backgrounds, and many serve in leadership roles across our system.

In honor of National Women Physicians Day, don't miss the conversation on "Charting with Dr. McNeil" where System Chief Medical Officer and Executive Vice President, Dr. Patsy McNeil, sits down with Dr. Judith Gurdian, Dr. Senda Beltaifa, and Dr. Cynthia Plate. They share their journeys in medicine, what they love most about their work, challenges they have faced and what they look forward to and hope for the future.
