Richard H. Lawler, M.D. (August 12, 1895 — July 24, 1982) led a surgical team at Little Company of Mary Hospital in Evergreen Park, Illinois, that performed on June 17, 1950, what Time magazine described as "the first human kidney transplant on record." With surgeons James West and Raymond Murphy, Lawler transplanted a kidney from a just-deceased female patient into the abdominal cavity of a 44-year-old woman with polycystic kidney disease. The surgeons described the groundbreaking operation in an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
