This public health lecture series is named in honor of the histori c Homer G. Phillips Hospital in St. Louis. At a time in American society wh en people of color were restricted from most medical training programs\, th e Homer G. Phillips Hospital became the premier training ground for African American medical professionals -- many of whom remained to deliver high qu ality health care in the St. Louis area and who later assumed prestigious p ositions throughout the nation. Although it closed its doors on August 17\, 1979\, we can learn much from the hospital's history\, presented by the ve ry people who strived diligently to provide culturally sensitive care to th e patients who so deeply trusted and loved them.
