Say hi to Leila Denmark from Athens, Georgia.

Leila was born February 1, 1898. 
You heard me, at the end of the 1800’s!

You see Leila was a Doctor and had practiced medicine for more than 70 years. Take a second to realize some of the world changing events she was present for, the entire industrial revolution, new vaccines, epidemics, massive wars, and thousands of deathly maladies. When Leila was 18, she wasn’t allowed to vote, because WOMEN WERE NOT ALLOWED TO VOTE IN 1916! She experience the Women’s Suffrage Movement.

Leila absolutely loved practicing medicine, connecting with others, and contributing to her world. She was so passionate about these concepts that she completely modeled her private practice on it.
 

Sounds nice, huh?

Somewhat ass backwards from our nation’s current health insurance situation.
