From 1865 to Google Doodle: Happy 152nd Birthday, Dr. Sue

Google honored the legacy of trailblazing physician Susan La Flesche Picotte, WMC 1889.

Google honored the legacy of trailblazing physician Susan La Flesche Picotte, WMC 1889, the first Native American to receive a medical degree. Picotte was featured as the daily Google Doodle on the 152nd anniversary of her birth on June 17, 2017. The image shows “Dr. Sue” flanked on one side by Woman’s Medical College of Pennsylvania and on the other by the hospital she later started on the Omaha Reservation in Nebraska where she grew up.
