- Description:
- This is a transcription of an audio-recorded interview of Dr. Emily Hammond Walker Wilson conducted by Lynda Lee Carlisle and Claire Hicks as an independent study project during their fourth year as medical students at MCG in 1984.
After an internship at the Central of Georgia Railroad Hospital in Savannah, she accepted a position at Johns Hopkins Hospital and pursued a general practice. In 1929, Dr. Hammond Wilson opened a practice in the southern portion of Anne Arundel County, Maryland, which was referred to as “South County”. She was known as the first physician to treat “tick fever” in Maryland.
Although Dr. Hammond Wilson was first denied admitting privileges at the Anne Arundel Hospital, she eventually served as its chief of staff for two years. She also served as the first female president of the Anne Arundel County Medical Society.
Dr. Hammond Wilson married her first husband, John Fletcher Wilson, in 1932 and had two sons. After his death in 1952, she married her second husband, A.T. (Tupper) Walker, in 1974. He passed away in 1988. Dr. Hammond Wilson passed away in 2007 at the age of 103. - Metadata URL:
