Another sad story. A young 12 year old football player collapsed and died.

Did you know children as early as nine years old can be certified in CPR? Did you know a significant number of deaths happen outside of the hospital setting as a result of bystanders not knowing CPR?CPR is a skill that everyone needs to know. Cardiac arrest can happen to anyone at any time. CPR can double to triple the cardiac arrest victim chance of survival. You, your family, your friends, your church members, your business office staff, your children teachers and coaches, restaurant teams etc should seek training. LF Mobile LifeSaving Courses, LLC would love to train you. It's better to be prepared than not.

Black History Month and Heart Month Day 7: Nathan Francis Mossell

Nathan Francis Mossell was an African American doctor who helped establish the first black hospital in Philadelphia. Mossell, was born on July 27, 1856 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada but grew up in Lockport, New York where he owned a successful brickyard. Mossell and his siblings were the only African American children in the Lockport public schools at the time. When brickyard revenues began to decline in the late 1860s, the Mossells decided to send only the oldest brother to college. Nathan, who had been working in the brickyard at age nine, attended school sporadically. Soon, after the death of his second oldest brother, Mossell, now fourteen worked in the yard full time to help his father.

At the age of fifteen, however, the family could now afford to provide for Mossell’s education. In 1871 he enrolled in nearby Lincoln University’s high school preparatory program, completing the four year curriculum in three years. Four years later, in 1879, he graduated from Lincoln University with a Bachelor of Arts degree, taking second honors in his class and winning the Bradley Medal in natural science.

Mossell credited his wife with his decision to attend medical school and to settle in Philadelphia, her home town.

After completing his undergraduate studies Mossell enrolled in the medical school at the University of Pennsylvania. He graduated in 1882 where he took second honors in his class. He also became one of Penn’s first African American graduates. Due to the prejudice in most hospitals against African Americans who had completed medical school, Mossell had to intern at St. Thomas and Queen’s College hospitals in London, England. He continued to work at St. Thomas Hospital for five additional years before returning to Philadelphia.

Soon after his return to the United States, Mossell overcame opposition to become the first African American physician elected to the Philadelphia County Medical Society. He practiced in white Philadelphia hospitals for almost a decade and then decided to start the Frederick Douglass Memorial Hospital and Training School in 1895 partly to provide care for the underserved black Philadelphia community and partly to give younger African American physicians the opportunity to have hospital internships and black nurses to gain hospital experience. Frederick Douglass Memorial became the second African American hospital in the United States, after Provident Hospital founded in 1892 by Dr. Daniel Hale Williams.

Nathan Francis Mossell died on October 27, 1946. Two years after his death, Frederick Douglass Memorial Hospital merged with Mercy Hospital, another African American-owned facility, to create Mercy Douglass Hospital which continued to serve black Philadelphia until its closure in 1973.

Day Five Black History Month and Heart Month: Dr. Clara Arena Brawner

Born and raised in Memphis, Clara Brawner attended Meharry Medical College in Nashville, Tennessee, the same school her father graduated from in 1926.

In the mid 1950s, Clara Arena Brawner, M.D., was the only practicing African American physician in Memphis, Tennessee. Over the next thirty years she branched out into local politics, health care administration, fundraising, and the study of theology. She is remembered as a fine doctor, an influential campaigner, and an inspiring mentor and role model.

Born and raised in Memphis, Clara Brawner followed in her parents' footsteps. She attended and graduated from Manassas High School, then entered Meharry Medical College in Nashville, Tennessee, the same school her father graduated from in 1926. She completed her medical degree in 1954 and went on to an internship at Meharry's Hubbard Hospital. In 1955, she returned to Memphis to become the city's first African American woman physician. She devoted her practice to family medicine with a special emphasis on pediatrics. In addition, Dr. Brawner was on the staff at St. Joseph's Hospital and the Baptist Memorial Hospital. At the Collins Chapel Hospital, she was chair of the department of pediatrics and chair of the scientific program for the medical staff.

Dr. Brawner's professional affiliations were numerous, including membership and leadership positions in the Bluff City Medical Society as well as positions in the Memphis and Shelby County Departments of Public Health. She also acted as a home care physician for the Veteran's Administration and was the Medical Director of the Goodwill Homes for Children in the Greater Memphis area.

Clara Brawner worked well beyond the confines of medicine throughout her life —giving her strong support to local political organizations serving the African American community in Memphis. She also worked to raise funds for her alma mater, Meharry Medical College.

Towards the end of her life, Clara Brawner, a deeply religious woman, believed she had been called to the ministry. She enrolled at Memphis Theological Seminary, and studied under the tutelage of a local pastor from 1989 until her death in 1991. Her sister, the renowned soprano Alpha Brawner, remembered her fondly. "She was my mentor, as well as my sister," Alpha noted.

Day Four Black History Month and Heart Month: Dr. Josephine Isabel-Jones

Isabel-Jones' parents, the Isabels, were well known activists in the Memphis community. Their desire to build a better, just community was evident long before the names Martin Luther King Jr., and Rosa Parks were known. Mrs. Isabel earned her GED after her own children started school and received her bachelor's degree in education over a decade. Eventually she became one of the first Black teachers recruited to integrate an all-White school when integration began to roll out in Memphis, in part due to the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education decision in 1954 that ruled segregated public schools were unconstitutional.

The integration of schools revealed disparities and inequities between Blacks and Whites in education, employment and other areas. A young Isabel-Jones was pulled into the community activism of her parents, at one time using her skills as a typist to prepare letters to the mayor and city council of Memphis to petition for remedies to segregation and discrimination on many fronts. This baptism into community service forecasted her activism in the burgeoning Civil Rights Movement.

When she was eight years old, Isabel-Jones decided to be a pediatrician. In the 1940s, it was unheard of for Black girls from the segregated South to become doctors – and she'd never even met a woman who was a physician. Yet she believed this was her calling. Her parents were encouraging, despite the barriers and social precedents. When hearing comments that their daughter would make an "excellent nurse," they were quick to make it clear her goal was to be a physician.

At Lemoyne College in Memphis, Isabel-Jones pursued premed studies and completed her major in biology in three years. Along with being a cheerleader and pledging the AKA sorority, she was heavily involved in student government.

As vice president of the student body in her senior year, Isabel-Jones answered this call to action – leading a series of sit-ins that led to the desegregation of the Memphis Public Library and other public facilities in Tennessee. A book she needed to complete her required capstone project was available locally only at the Whites-only library. Ordering it through the Black-only local library would require waiting at least two weeks for delivery. It was unfair and unjust and she was infuriated. She persuaded her fellow student leaders to hold their first sit-in at the two Whites-only libraries in Memphis. On a fateful day in April 1960, the Lemoyne students split up and took public transportation to each of the Whites-only libraries, arriving at the same time – surprising city officials who had prepared for such demonstrations at the lunch counters, as was happening across the South, not at the library!

Though engulfed in the Movement and reveling in the strides made in Memphis, Isabel-Jones adopted a new priority that demanded her attention when she entered Meharry Medical College, a historically Black institution in Nashville. Just one of four women in a class of 70 in 1960. All four of the women graduated and Isabel-Jones was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society. Her medical school training included an externship in family medicine in Syracuse, NY, and an internship at DC General Hospital in Washington, DC.

Her first interest in cardiology was sparked by time spent early in her training with an adult cardiologist. During her internship in DC, she attended a city-wide cardiology conference organized by Joseph K. Perloff, MD, FACC. He later became a founder of the subspecialty of Adult Congenital Heart Disease and became Isabel-Jones' colleague at UCLA in the late 1970s.

Thinking strategically to establish herself as a pediatrician in Memphis, Isabel-Jones moved there to complete her pediatric residency and became University of Tennessee's (UT) first African-American resident. She recalls it as a lonely, isolating experience with little support and few connections, even though living in her hometown. Lorin E. Ainger, MD, FACC, a pediatric cardiologist, convinced her to stay at UT for an additional year and continue as a pediatric cardiology fellow as she seemed to have a knack for it. As Isabel-Jones recounts, "sometimes it just takes someone saying you are good at something to change your life's course."

Ainger treated her just as he would any other Fellow. When a cardiology conference was hosted at the local country club, he of course took her with him. When she entered the country club, she was the first-ever Black guest, at a place where her father had worked part time as a head waiter.

Isabel-Jones completed her pediatric cardiology fellowship at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). In 1969, she went to Duke University as part of her oral boards, where she was tested by well-known pediatric cardiologist Madison S. Spach, MD, FACC. She felt defeated after the examination, only to learn later she had indeed passed – making her the first African-American woman board-certified in pediatric cardiology in the U.S.
