Generations African Americans in Medicine at DMC African Americans have a role in the legacy of medicine. Stretching from physicians in ancient Egypt to the clinicians of today, Black physicians, nurses and others continue to influence health and healing. It is a long history of triumph over adversity, and nowhere is that victory more evident than among the men and women who practice medicine at Detroit Medical Center. Influenced by Detroit’s medical pioneers, including role models from within their own families and communities, African American physicians and other health professionals have a role in the world-class standing that Detroit Medical Center (DMC) enjoys today. You’ll find them in the operating room, at the bedside, behind the microscope and in the executive offices of the eight hospitals and institutions of Detroit Medical Center. This publication is part of a yearlong recognition of the African American men and women at DMC. Working together with a diverse group of colleagues, they help serve the healthcare needs of Detroit area residents and thereby have a hand in the future of this region. Black medical professionals today have unlimited freedom to study, practice and conduct research in educational institutions and health systems of their choice. Those privileges were won through the vision, intellect and courage of pioneering Black medical professionals through the decades. They operated their own hospitals and clinics, all the while battling discrimination and pursuing equal access for themselves and their patients. You’ll recognize some of the names in the descendants who followed them into medicine. We want you to hear some of the stories of the medical professionals who are a brilliant reflection of the legacy of African Americans in Medicine at Detroit Medical Center. AFRICAN AMERICANS

Victoria N. Dooley, M.D.

Family Medicine Medical Degree: Wayne State University School of Medicine Throughout grade school, Victoria Dooley’s parents supported her interest in the sciences, enrolling her in numerous enrichment programs. “It was because of their constant love and support that I knew becoming a physician was an attainable goal,” she said. In high school, she participated in “Minorities in Medicine,” a program at the University of Michigan. “I was able to meet medical students, professors, and physicians who looked like me.” Her own physicians, two African American females, influenced Dr. Dooley in another important way. “These physicians were also mothers. I saw firsthand how to manage both a demanding medical career and home life.” Dr. Dooley chose family medicine, rather than a specialty. “I wanted to treat all patients who present with a variety of medical issues,” she said. “The Black physician’s role in Detroit and our larger community is to improve health and healthcare for all people, with a special emphasis on the underserved. The DMC and other national organizations are integral to helping us promote research that fosters the elimination of health disparities. It is now more important than ever, for all racial and ethnic groups to have physician leaders in their communities who look like them; physicians who can model and advocate treating all patients with dignity, sensitivity, and respect.”

D M C R E H A B I L I TAT I O N I N S T I T U T E O F M I C H I G A N Michael W. Roberts, D.O.

Orthopaedic Surgeon Medical Degree: Michigan State University College of Human Medicine Dr. Roberts had many inspiring people, including his mother and several African American physicians already in practice, who helped him choose a career in medicine. “My mother always said if you want something bad enough then you must work hard, because all things are possible.” Growing up he remembers how the African American physicians in the community were acknowledged and respected. “I admired them for their knowledge and caring.” African American physicians have a role in the future of the Detroit Medical Center, the city and the nation – “they have to be leaders . . . and help the younger generation live their lives to fulfill their greatest potential.”

“I believe that we should continue the legacy of being role models to our young people . . . By our actions, we can make the DMC and the Detroit metro area a showcase for healthy lifestyles.”

James D. Howell, M.D.

Medical Director - Internal Medicine DMC Rehabilitation Institute of Michigan Medical Degree: Virginia Commonwealth University – Medical College of Virginia James Howell, M.D., was born while his father was still attending Howard University School of Medicine. Later he sometimes tagged along during his father’s general surgery residency. Now retired and teaching general surgery residents in his homeland of Barbados, the elder Dr. Howell inspired his son to pursue medicine. “I saw that it took a lot of sacrifice and time to achieve his goals, but I also saw the joy when he was able to help his patients overcome their illnesses. His work ethic and his desire to use his talents for God inspired me to enter the medical field.”

Bryan E. Little, M.D.

Chief of Orthopaedic Surgery, DMC Detroit Receiving Hospital Medical Degree: Wayne State University School of Medicine “My parents were my inspiration,” says orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Bryan Little. “They always told me and my three siblings that we could do anything we wanted to do, if we worked hard at it.” His father, the late Ronald E. Little, M.D., was also an orthopaedic surgeon. “My fondest memories are of going to the grocery store with my father and having patients of his come up to us and speak so highly of him and how he had changed their lives.” “As African American physicians, we have such a unique opportunity to shape or impact the lives of so many. We exist as living proof that nothing is unattainable.”

“I too have made many sacrifices to make it to where I am today, and I also experience the joy everyday of helping a patient recover from acute medical issues and to go home a new person.” “I believe that we should continue the legacy of being role models to our young people, mentoring them and helping to foster their interest in medicine as a career and a way to help make their communities stronger. By our actions, we can make the DMC and the Detroit metro area a showcase for healthy lifestyles.”

Interim President, DMC Harper University-Hutzel Women’s Hospitals Medical Degree: Wayne State University School of Medicine

“My father was revered in the community. As a medical student and resident I learned he was also revered by his colleagues and those who worked with him in the hospital.”

Patricia Wilkerson-Uddyback, M.D., was inspired by the toy medical bag she got on her fifth Christmas and by the integrity and work ethic she learned from watching her parents. “My parents put themselves through college and I remember watching both of them come home from work and study into the early morning hours. They would sleep maybe 2-3 hours a night and get up and do it all over again. I don’t remember ever hearing them complain . . .” A Harvard University summer enrichment program for pre-med college students was the final convincing factor for the woman who became the first physician in her family.

“African American physicians have a long history of service in Detroit . . . at the DMC in particular. It is really a culturally diverse medical system.”

Internal Medicine Medical Degree: Wayne State University School of Medicine Dr. Leonard Ellison, Jr., grew up in Detroit and graduated from U of D High School. He was inspired to enter medicine by his father, who is also a physician. An internal medicine physician, Dr. Ellison, Jr., graduated from Wayne State University Medical School in 1999 and served as Chief Resident for the Detroit Medical Center. He is a member of the American Medical Society and the Wayne County Medical Society. Dr. Ellison has a special interest in the care of the elderly. In addition to seeing patients, he is the Medical Director at several adult nursing care facilities and Detroit area hospices.

It was the late Sophie Womack, M.D. who encouraged Dr. Wilkerson-Uddyback to enter medical administration. Dr. Womack, a highly-skilled neonatologist, was the first African American female Vice President of Medical Affairs at DMC Harper - Hutzel Hospitals. Dr. Wilkerson-Uddyback was the second.

“My parents put themselves through college and I remember watching both of them come home from work and study into the early morning hours . . . I don’t remember ever hearing them complain . . .”

Thomas M. Flake, Jr., M.D., FACS

Surgeon Medical Degree: Wayne State University School of Medicine Growing up, Dr. Thomas Flake, Jr., played little league. His father, a renowned Detroit surgeon, often had to miss the games. Now as a surgeon himself, Dr. Flake understands that his father was busy saving lives. “My father was revered in the community. As a medical student and resident I learned he was also revered by his colleagues and those who worked with him in the hospital.” “Working as an orderly in the ER at the Washington Hospital Center, while I was at Howard University, allowed me to observe, first hand, how amazingly skilled and knowledgeable physicians were and I wanted to be one of them.”

Internal Medicine and Pediatrics, Assistant Professor Medical Degree: Wayne State University School of Medicine

Ramotsumi Makhene, M.D.

Eric Ayers ran into people who said he could never become a doctor. They didn’t know he already had plenty of inspiration. His mother was a licensed practical nurse at Kirwood General, a hospital started and staffed in 1945 by Black physicians. Dr. Ayers saw his first surgery at age seven, and saw his mother twice treated for critical illnesses.

Plastic Surgeon Medical Degree: Meharry Medical College

“This solidified for me that the human body was indeed frail and that the complexity of how it works and functions could not be taken for granted.”

“As a youngster, I spent time in my father’s medical practice. I saw how he was able to help his patients despite the restrictions placed on Black physicians by the apartheid regime in South Africa. This experience heavily influenced my decision to become a physician.”

“African American physicians and those in leadership must remember our history in relation to DMC. We must remember the stamina and vision of those first individuals who fought to get privileges to be on staff and honor them by dedicating ourselves to success.”

“During my surgical training I was exposed to plastic surgery, and fell in love with the idea of repairing congenital and traumatic deformities of the face and other parts of the body. I decided to subspecialize in surgery of the hand.” “My role models are Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King, Jr. These men stood up for what was right despite tremendous pressure to do otherwise.”

Lynn C. Smitherman, M.D., FAAP General Pediatrics Medical Degree: University of Cincinnati College of Medicine

Patrick Hines, M.D., PhD

Pediatric Critical Care Specialist Medical Degree: University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, School of Medicine

“I have always wanted to be a physician; I never thought about being anything else.

Patrick Hines’ parents were not physicians, but their life’s work helping others and his natural aptitude for science and health led him to medicine and research. His uncle, Demetrius Hines, M.D., a graduate of the historic Meharry Medical College, helped Dr. Patrick Hines visualize his goal. “My uncle shared with me that he faced tremendous challenges . . . he had no role models to look to or talk to about his dreams. He put himself through college, joined the military and then put himself through medical school. I admired him very much and he was the first person whose footsteps I could visualize following.” AFRICAN AMERICANS

My pediatrician, Dr. (Greta) Rainsford, was an excellent physician. She took the time to get to know all of her patients. My grandfather was a radiologist, and did research in using radiation to treat cancer. From him, I learned the value of research in advancing medical care. My great-uncle was an internist. From him, I learned the satisfaction of continuing to expand one’s medical knowledge to help solve diagnostic dilemmas.”

Gary Gilyard, M.D.

“I have had the opportunity to do clinical research on cultural health beliefs, to teach physicians how to negotiate with different belief systems in their practices.”

Dr. Gilyard strives to be a living role model for his family, patients and community. “Don’t just tell them, show them,” he says. “Stop smoking, stop drinking and exercise. Color aside, so many problems in this country are directly related to how we take care of ourselves.”

Orthopaedic Surgeon Medical Degree: Tufts University School of Medicine Gary Gilyard, M.D., has worked with the New York Islanders, New York Jets, Washington Bullets and Washington Capitals, and has brought that same expertise to DMC patients and local professional athletes. He was inspired by his parents, particularly his father who always had a vision of what he wanted his son to achieve, and by his predecessors who persevered when there were only a few Black physicians in the industry.

D M C S I N A I - G R A C E H O S P I TA L Camille J. Blake, D.O., PhD.

Kevin Kyle, M.D.

Internal Medicine, Health Education and Promotion Medical Degree: Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine

Pulmonary and Internal Medicine Medical Degree: Wayne State University School of Medicine When Kevin Kyle was eight years old, his father brought a surgical journal to the dining room table. “I began to intensely look at every picture as my brothers became nauseated. I knew then for certain that I had to be a physician, like my father.”

Dr. Camille Blake has eight immediate family members who are physicians, including her grandfather, William G. Anderson, D.O., a pioneering physician and a friend to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. With them and other historical medical figures as role models and after dissecting a lamb’s heart in fourth grade, she also chose medicine.

Kyle is the son of the late William V. Kyle Jr., M.D. “My father would take me to the hospital to round with him and I remember how good it felt to hear so many people thank him for his help and his kindness. He was also clearly respected by both Black and White people.”

Seeing a 40-year-old, obese, diabetic, hypertensive mother of two die from a heart problem, became a defining moment for Dr. Blake.

“The role of Black physicians as community leaders should continue. We should strive to inspire young men and women.”

“Patient education, emphasizing a healthier lifestyle, became a priority in my practice, not only for the sake of my patients but also for their families and the generations that would follow them.”

Lisa M. Randon, M.D.

Pediatrician Medical Degree: University of Michigan Medical School Dr. Lisa Randon was in her last year of medical school at the University of Michigan when her mother was diagnosed with cancer. “The thoroughness of my mother’s care by DMC doctors inspired me to provide the same high level of quality care, time and compassion to my patients.” African American pioneers like the late Dr. Charles Vincent, and the still-practicing Dr. Alex Pickens, were role models for her. “I admired their dedication, commitment and love for their community.” “African American physicians are uniquely poised to address misconceptions as well as overcome cultural and societal barriers that prevent African Americans from seeking the necessary medical care.” AFRICAN AMERICANS
