Of historical significance was the inauguration of AMWA’s first African-American president, Dr. Roselyn Payne Epps. Keynote speaker, Dr. Antonia Novello, the first woman physician to serve as Surgeon General of the United States, was welcomed with a standing ovation and sense of pride that was palpable. It was a moment for all women in medicine to cherish. The next two decades marked impressive growth and expansion of the organization. Healthcare Advocacy In the early 1990’s, AMWA was actively involved in healthcare advocacy at all levels within the organization, including legislative days on the hill, press briefings at the White House, and student internships. Among the issues that AMWA championed during these years were the Family and Medical Leave Act which was passed in 1993, the smoking cessation Tobacco Product Education and Health Promotion Act, pro-choice legislation, and the acceptance of RU-486 as a medical abortifacient. Year after year, AMWA continued to be an indefatigable champion for women’s health rights. 1992: On April 5, an AMWA delegation marched in Washington DC with the National Organization for Women (NOW) in support for reproductive choice.

    Virtual Mentor American Medical Association Journal of Ethics July 2001, Volume 3, Number 7: 252-254. VIEWPOINT Protecting the Public: Profile of Dr. Frances Oldham Kelsey Karen Geraghty That Dr. Frances Oldham Kelsey saved countless lives and prevented numerous physical deformities of infants and children is a remarkable accomplishment in any career. More remarkable still is the fact that she accomplished this feat not through the discovery of a cure, the development of an innovative surgical procedure, or the invention of a life-saving device. Rather, it was Dr. Kelsey's professional behavior—her unwillingness to compromise the priorities of patient health and safety—that single-handedly averted an appalling tragedy nearly thrust upon an unsuspecting American public. In September 1960, Dr. Kelsey was a newly appointed member of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Her very first assignment was to review the application for the drug Kevadon. Synthesized in 1954 and introduced to the market on October 1, 1957 in West Germany, the drug—known there by the name Thalidomide—was hailed as a wonder cure for insomnia. Non-addictive and non- toxic, Thalidomide induced sleep and was prescribed as a sedative that promised no side effects. As its popularity grew, it soon became the drug of choice prescribed to pregnant women combating symptoms associated with morning sickness. By 1960, Thalidomide was popularly prescribed throughout the world, including Europe and Canada. The application by the Richardson-Merrell pharmaceutical company of Cincinnati to introduce Thalidomide under the brand name Kevadon to the US market reached the desk of Dr. Kelsey less than one month after her appointment to the FDA.

Anne Henrietta Martin Suffrage Marker By Patty Cafferata and Mona Reno Patty Cafferata shared this talk with Patti So, I recommended that this would be the Bernard and me at the Reno Suffrage Marker on best location, because it is central to downtown, November 30, 2020. and their house on Mill Street is long gone. I came downtown and walked around the corner and then asked the City of Reno, Historic Resource Commission if we could meet with them to discuss the marker. Joanne came to Reno and we pitched the marker and the national program of erecting these plaques all across the country. There is a foundation that is paying for these [The William G. Pomeroy Foundation], but by the time we had jumped all the City’s hoops we probably wouldn’t have gotten the marker installed in 2020. The point of getting the marker erected is because this is the 100th anniversary of suffrage. The City has guidelines for markers and rather than matching the national markers, our suffragist marker matches the City’s requirements. So, I just said, “I’ll pay for it, so we can get it in 2020.” Joanne and I worked with the Historic I think you both know that there are four other Resource Commission on the wording and they markers erected across the state wherever approved it with a plan to erect it.
