PREVENTING WINTER INJURIES:
Dr. Adam Redlich's Winter Tips:
* When shoveling snow, DON'T bend your back. Move through your hips & knees .. use a back brace (We have some if you need!) ...
... OR hire someone to shovel for you!
*When jogging/walking outdoors, be more conscious of your steps because of the possibility of ice, and slipping and falling
*Check all equipment for stability & any breaking before use. Especially for sports like skiing, snowboarding, ice skating
* Wear appropriate amounts of clothing (layers) - especially cover your hands and ears, toes as those areas are especially prone to frostbite. Use hand/foot warmers.
* Never do "Just one more ..." ... that's when injury often occurs ... when tired!
On this Super Bowl Day Let's be Thankful ... for not only our military keeping us safe, but also essential workers everywhere.

Hazel Johnson Brown
General Hazel Johnson-Brown was the first Black woman named general in the United States Army and the first chief of the Army Corps of Nurses, both in 1979. General Johnson-Brown’s pathway to military life came after she was denied a chance to chase a dream of becoming a nurse.
Johnson-Brown was born October 10, 1927 in West Chester, Pennsylvania. As a young girl, she had hopes of becoming a nurse. But when she attempted to attend a local nursing school she was turned her away due to her race. Johnson-Brown entered the Harlem Hospital School of Nursing and graduated in 1950, swiftly rising to the position of head nurse of the Philadelphia Veteran’s Administration Hospital.
As nurse, Johnson-Brown was so committed to the job that she was named to her supervisory post, which angered a white co-worker who felt she didn’t deserve the position. Johnson-Brown explained in a video that she told her white detractor that she didn’t name herself as head nurse but was given the title due to hard work. The woman quit.
With the blessing of her superiors, Johnson-Brown brown joined the U.S. Army in 1955 just as the military was being desegregated. Just as she did a nurse, Johnson-Brown took on the challenge without fear.
In 1959, Johnson-Brown earned a nursing degree from Villanova University and a master’s degree from Columbia University’s Teachers College in 1963. In 1978, Johnson-Brown earned her doctorate in educational administration in 1978 from Catholic University.
The year after earning the doctorate, Johnson-Brown obtained her general ranking and chief position of the Army’s nursing corps. Prior to that, Johnson-Brown served as the assistant dean of the University of Maryland School of Nursing. She earned a reputation as a tough administrator retiring in 1983 with the respect of her peers.
General Johnson-Brown passed in 2011.
Incredible Accomplishments! What a Leader in the Field! Great Role model!

Helen Octavia Dickens, MD (1909 - 2001)
The daughter of a former slave (her father was a self-educated man), both her parents had struggled to make a living in low-paying jobs, they insisted that Helen receive a good education and follow a professional career, and with their encouragement she attended a desegregated high school.
As a young adult, Helen Dickens continued to apply to the best schools and hospitals, refusing to be intimidated at predominantly white institutions. She was inspired by the achievements of other African American women who had gone before her, she benefited from the practical advice and support of such mentors. Dr. Elizabeth Hill, the first African American physician to graduate from the University of Illinois, helped her to register for medical school. Helen Dickens earned her M.D. degree at the same institution in 1934, the only African-American woman in her class. (she would sit at the front of the class in medical school so that she would not be bothered by the racist comments and gestures made by her classmates.)
Dickens completed her internship at Provident, a black hospital on the south side of Chicago, treating tuberculosis among the poor. She was discouraged by the lack of community work done by medical residents, and relished the opportunity to move away to her first job, at Virginia Alexander's Aspiranto Health Home in Philadelphia in 1935.
After six years working at Aspiranto, Dr. Dickens decided to expand her training in obstetrics and gynecology, returning to Provident Hospital for a specialist residency. In 1943, she married Purvis Sinclair Henderson, a fellow resident, and moved to Harlem Hospital in New York City to work under the guidance of esteemed surgeon and internist, Peter Marshall Murray. In 1945 she received her master of science degree from the University of Pennsylvania Medical School, and in 1946 she completed her residency at Harlem and was certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Dr. Dickens returned to Philadelphia in 1948 as director of the Mercy Douglass Hospital Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and, in 1950, became the first African American-woman fellow of the American College of Surgeons. Toward the end of her directorship in the late 1960s, Dickens also taught at the University of Pennsylvania. By 1969 she was associate dean in the Office for Minority Affairs at the University of Pennsylvania, and within five years had increased minority enrollment from three students to sixty-four. Over the next twenty years, she rose through the ranks, from instructor, through to professor, culminating in her appointment as professor emeritus in 1985. At the same time, she served on the staff of the Woman's Hospital in Philadelphia and later, the faculty of the Medical College of Pennsylvania.
In patient care, Dr. Dickens concentrated on preventing some of the problems she had seen so frequently in her obstetrics and gynecology practice. Hoping to educate young women to empower themselves, she led extensive research into teen pregnancy and sexual health issues. She used the results of her wide-ranging survey to advise schools, parents, and health professionals on intervention strategies to lower the incidence of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. She received numerous honors for her work on sexual health for young and adult women, including awards from the Girl Scouts of Greater Philadelphia and the American Cancer Society. Her own daughter, Dr. Jayne Henderson Brown, has followed in her footsteps and practices, as her mother did, in Philadelphia.

Dr. Muriel Petioni , M.D. (1914-2011)
Born in Trinnidad on January 1, 1914, into a family with a formidable medical tradition-nine of her family members are doctors-she spent her early childhood years in Trinidad and Tobago before moving with her family to Harlem, New York, where her father set up a private practice.
Petioni followed in her father's footsteps, graduating with a B.S. from Howard University in 1934, and graduating from Howard University Medical School three years later.
After a two-year internship at Harlem Hospital Center from 1937 to 1939, Dr. Petioni became a college physician at several universities, and in 1942, she married a Tuskegee Airman named Mal Woolfolk. In 1947, a year after Woolfolk had returned from the war, the couple had their first and only son, Charles Woolfolk. Dr. Petioni took a break from medicine and spent the next three years as a housewife and mother.
In 1950, she returned not only to her profession (Family Medicine), but also to her home, in Harlem, and set up a private practice in the very same office her father had used for his practice. She would continue this practice for forty years, tirelessly serving the Harlem community. A medical doctor, educator and community activist, she has worked diligently to ensure that underserved communities receive proper medical attention and equitable access to health care.
Dr. Petioni served for thirty years as a school physician in Central Harlem for the New York City Department of Health, as well as the supervising physician for Central Harlem and East Harlem from 1980 to 1984. She was on the board for the Harlem Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone and is chair and founder of the Friends of Harlem Hospital Center, organized in 1987 to raise funds and provide support for the 114-year-old hospital.
Until her retirement as a physician in the late 1990s, Dr. Petioni maintained her practice on the ground floor of the house on 131st Street where she and her family had lived, and where she had grown up.
The advancement of women in medicine has always been important to Dr. Petioni, and in 1974, she founded the Susan Smith McKinney Steward Medical Society for Women, a professional association for black women physicians. This organization has been instrumental in providing institutional support for women in medical profession in the Greater New York area.
She established the Medical Women of the National Medical Association, which is now called the Council for the Consensus of Women. Because she always understood the importance of Black professionals serving as role models, for nearly 25 years she worked with the Coalition of 100 Black Women to develop a mentoring program for young women interested in the sciences and medicine.
In her work with the Coalition of 100 Black Women, Petioni has developed a mentorship program that guides young black women into careers in medicine.
Dr. Petioni is the recipient of numerous awards, honors and recognitions, too numerous to list. As she enters her sixth decade of community health work in Harlem, Dr. Petioni's remarkable energy, passion and dedication remain undiminished.
In her last days, Dr. Muriel Petioni summoned to her bedside many of the colleagues, protégés and political allies she had amassed during a lifetime as a Harlem physician and community activist. She gave each a set of marching orders: Make sure the new geriatric center at the hospital has the homey atmosphere we agreed on. Have you recruited new volunteers for the Harlem Elders program, as we discussed? The new clinic on 146th Street — let’s make sure it has the equipment it needs. Dr. Petioni passed away on December, 6, 2011 at the age of 97.
In 2011 The Dr. Muriel Petioni Plaza was opened. The eight-story, 65-unit building is located at 203 West 146th St. between Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd. and Frederick Douglass Blvd in the Bradhurst section of Harlem. The Dr. Petioni Plaza project has more than 60 affordable units for very low-income elderly and frail elderly households, with on-site access to health care and social services.
The “green” design’s impressive features include high-performance mechanical systems, rain water harvesting, a green roof, non-toxic paints and materials, FSC-certified wood, south-facing sun shades, and EnergyStar lights and appliances.
The building is designed to accommodate aging-in-place seniors earning no more than 50 percent of the area’s median income, and is fully accessible for individuals with physical disabilities.
