Passage: Sara Josephine Baker (November 15, 1873 – February 22, 1945) was an American physician notable for making contributions to public health, especially in the immigrant communities of New York City.  Her fight against the damage that widespread urban poverty and ignorance caused to children, especially newborns, is perhaps her most lasting legacy.  In 1917, she noted that babies born in the United States faced a higher mortality rate than soldiers fighting in World War I, drawing a great deal of attention to her cause.  She also is known for (twice) tracking down Mary Mallon, the infamous index case known as Typhoid Mary.

Title: Alfred Stillé
Passage: Alfred Stillé (October 30, 1813 – September 24, 1900) was an American physician.  Born in Philadelphia, he studied classics at Yale, but was expelled for participating in the Conic Sections Rebellion.  He then transferred to the University of Pennsylvania in the same year, where he received an A.B. degree in 1832.  He went on to get an A.M. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1835 and in 1836 an M.D. from the school's department of medicine.  He settled to practice in his native city, but spent parts of 1841 and 1851 in Paris and Vienna.  From 1854 to 1859 he was professor of medicine at the Pennsylvania Medical College and from 1864 to 1884 at the University of Pennsylvania, later becoming its Chair.  Stillé was one of the first in America to distinguish between typhus and typhoid fever.  His observations in this connection he made during a typhus epidemic in Philadelphia in 1836 and reported in 1838.  He acquired a great reputation as a practitioner, teacher, and writer, and was the first secretary, and in 1871–72 the president, of the American Medical Association.  However, as evidenced by his later writings, he was also known for refusing to accept the germ theory or laboratory medicine.

Title: Public Health Advisor
Passage: The Public Health Advisor, or “PHA” is a type of public health worker which was established in 1948 by the United States Public Health Service in the Venereal Disease Control Division.  Today they are hired primarily by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and serve in many public health programs.  This type of worker is unique in public health, because they begin their service at the entry level of public health doing what is known as “field work” or “contact epidemiology” which refers to the interviewing and locating of people who have been exposed to an infectious disease so as to offer them treatment and to reduce the epidemic.  Following their initial work experiences, PHAs are exposed to a variety of public health programs across the United States, learning to function at all levels of the public health system.  During their time of service, PHAs are called upon to respond to public health or humanitarian crisis.  This article will briefly describe the history of the Public Health Advisor and will mention a few notable contributions made over the course of their history with the Public Health Service and later with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
