General Document Comments 0
I am Dr. Nathan Francis Mossell, an accomplished African American physician and civil rights leader. I made history as the first African American to graduate from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in 1882. My career was marked by pioneering efforts to integrate African Americans into the medical field. As the first African American physician allowed to join the staff at the Philadelphia Hospital for Contagious Diseases, I played a crucial role in providing care to marginalized communities.
In 1895, I founded the Frederick Douglass Memorial Hospital and Training School, which was instrumental in addressing the healthcare needs of African Americans and offered training to black nurses. My work extended beyond medicine as I was deeply involved in civil rights organizations like the NAACP, tirelessly fighting for equality and justice. I dedicated my life to breaking racial barriers and advocating for both medical and social advancements for African Americans.

I am Dr. Nathan Mossell, and I’m delighted to share a story from my time at the Frederick Douglass Memorial Hospital. One memorable experience was the day we performed our first complex surgery. As the hospital’s medical director, I was acutely aware of the pressures and expectations placed on us. This surgery was a testament to the determination and skill of our black medical staff, proving to skeptics that we were just as capable as any other institution in the nation.
The patient was a local community member who had been refusing treatment elsewhere due to discrimination. Our hospital provided a sanctuary where he felt safe and respected. The surgery was challenging, requiring collaboration and precision. As the procedure progressed, I remember feeling a mixture of pride and responsibility seeing our staff working in harmony. When the surgery concluded successfully, it wasn’t just a medical triumph; it was a symbolic victory for African Americans striving for equality in medicine. This experience reaffirmed the importance of our hospital, not just in providing healthcare, but also in instilling community pride and breaking racial barriers.
