Catherine DeAngelis, M.D., M.P.H.

Catherine DeAngelis, a woman of Italian American descent, paved the way for not only Italian Americans but for women of all backgrounds in a heavily male-dominated career. She pursued her dream of becoming a doctor with conviction despite her brief time of wondering if she should join the religious order of the Maryknoll Sisters.. Her compassion for others inspired her to develop many programs that would aid in bettering the lives of those who were in desperate need of health care.
