Griffin Health, Ansonia NAACP recognize Black leaders in medicine

 

In honor of Black History Month, Griffin Health has partnered with the Ansonia NAACP in recognizing Black Americans who have made significant contributions to medicine.

Today, we spotlight Dr. Louis T. Wright.

Dr. Wright was a prominent surgeon and medical writer. He was the second Black American to become a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (1934), first to be appointed Police Surgeon of New York City (1928) and President of the Board of New York’s Harlem Hospital (1948).
