Dr. Justina Ford
Today we celebrate Dr. Justina Ford. Not only was she a true pioneer and trailblazer who made history by overcoming the barriers of race and gender to become the first African American woman to practice medicine in Colorado.
She was compassionate, fair, equitable, fearless, and determined to help others. Her drive and determination made her an inspiration to others and continues to inspire us all today.
