Daniel Hale Williams was a brilliant surgeon, innovator and leader, who pioneered lifesaving procedures and medical education.n the morning of July 10, 1893, Daniel Hale Williams had a difficult decision to make. James Cornish, a 24-year-old Black man who had been stabbed in a street brawl the night before, was struggling to breathe and deteriorating fast. Dr. Dan, as he was known to colleagues and patients, suspected that the knife had pierced the young man’s heart.
“Dr. Williams Performs an Astonishing Feat,” a local newspaper’s headline proclaimed, calling the operation “most delicate as well as daring.” While Williams opened a successful private practice, the young doctor found it difficult to conduct operations on patients in their homes. What Williams needed—what the country needed—was a hospital owned and operated by Black doctors, where any doctor could treat patients of any race.
As Provident hospital rose in prominence, so did Williams. After his breakthrough 1893 heart surgery, he was arguably better known than the hospital itself. Invited to practice medicine and give lectures all over the country, particularly in the South, Williams used that platform to advocate for an interracial hospital network. Williams felt strongly that Provident should be the first of many hospitals owned and operated by Black people.
“It was really like the shining star of the community. . . . This was a place where people felt cared for, people felt understood.”
