[NFBP-Talk] Black History Month Fact - Patricia Bath

[Bill McCann]

Thanks for sharing this bit of interesting history, Lisa.  No, I had never heard of Dr. Bath either.

What an impressive woman.  She is a role model for not only black Americans but for all of us Americans.  We live in a great country and people like Dr. Bath have made it so.

Hey Federation Family,

Just thought this was interesting and relative.

Patricia Bath was a black female doctor who received a patent for the laserphaco to remove cataracts.
Her research showed rates of glaucoma in black patients was twice and high and due largely to lack of access to quality eye care.

Am I the only one that never heard of her?

Happy reading!

Lisa
