Emily Hammond Wilson Walker (July 8, 1904 – July 10, 2007) was an American physician. Only the second woman to graduate from her medical school, the Medical College of Georgia, she was initially refused a position at Anne Arundel Hospital but went on to become its chief of staff. A career country doctor of more than 50 years, she set up early sexual health and prenatal clinics and diagnosed the first case of Rocky Mountain spotted fever in Maryland. She was known for her willingness to treat all patients regardless of means, as well as her resistance to Jim Crow laws, welcoming African American patients into her waiting room alongside white ones.
