Dr. Emily Blackwell was among the first women in the United States to earn an M.D. She helped establish a women’s hospital and women's medical college in New York.
She met her partner, Dr. Elizabeth Cushier at the college and they raised an adopted daughter together.
In 1981, Blackwell’s hospital relocated and merged with another institution and is now known as the New York-Presbyterian Lower Manhattan Hospital.
