Why Care About FAMU Hospital Lives and Employees?
A Pillar of Hope and Health
From the 1920s to the 1970s, FAMU Hospital stood as a beacon of hope and health for African Americans in North Florida. It was the only healthcare provider for the black community during a time of segregation and limited medical access. The hospital not only provided essential medical services but also fostered a sense of community and resilience among its patients and staff.
Over the decades, FAMU Hospital became a symbol of progress and empowerment. It was a place where black doctors, nurses, and medical staff could practice and excel in their professions. The hospital’s legacy is a testament to the strength and determination of the African American community in the face of adversity.
