The Blackwell Society
The Blackwell Society was founded at Weill Cornell Medicine in the Spring of 2021 on the 200th anniversary of Elizabeth Blackwell’s birth to honor the legacy of Drs. Elizabeth and Emily Blackwell, and to connect and support our faculty. Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell was the first female physician in the United States and together with her sister, Emily, founded the New York Infirmary for Indigent Women and Children which evolved into today’s New York-Presbyterian Lower Manhattan Hospital. Since its creation, the Blackwell Society has planned and hosted near monthly events to engage faculty members of WCM on issues important to the professional development of faculty, including Well-Being, Salary Equity and Leadership.
