Obstetrician
|
Lauretta Eby Kress (born Lauretta Eby; February 10, 1863 – June 28, 1955) was an American obstetrician, hospital founder, and medical missionary. She was the first licensed female physician in Montgomery County, Maryland, and co-founded the Sydney Sanitarium while serving as a Seventh-day Adventist missionary in Australia. A graduate of the University of Michigan Medical School, Kress spent decades practicing medicine in the Washington, D.C., area, where she delivered more than 5,000 babies and directed the Women's Clinic. She was an early advocate for women's health, vegetarianism, temperance, and anti-smoking reform, co-authoring a vegetarian cookbook with her husband and holding leadership roles in professional medical associations.
