This interview with lifelong missionary doctor Dr. Edith F. Millican (1914-1985), focuses on her quarter-century practice in northern New Mexico among the people of the Sangre de Cristos mountains. Dr. Millican practiced at the Presbyterian Mission Hospital at Embudo, New Mexico in the 1940's and 50's, then established a branch medical mission in the Mora Valley in the 1950's and early 60's. Before health problems forced her retirement, she was active in public health work and private practice in Las Vegas, New Mexico. The following subjects are prominent in this interview: Dr. Millican's personal and professional background; Dr. Sarah Bowen; the health and sanitation problems of the mountain plazas of northern New Mexico; midwifery and traditional medicine in the Hispanic-American community of northern New Mexico; and public health services, especially maternal and infant health care.
