Question:

In what month was elizabeth blackwell's dispensary open?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It was time, Blackwell reasoned, to set about establishing a hospital; and on January 20, 1854, she filed a certificate of incorporation for the "New York Dispensary for Poor Women and Children." It listed three goals: providing medical aid to the poor, particularly women and children; training nurses to serve the community; and "to secure the services of well-qualified female practitioners of medicine."

Blackwell's New York Infirmary for Indigent Women and Children, as she re-christened it, opened on May 12, 1857, the 37th birthday of another famous healer—Florence Nightingale, whom Blackwell had befriended during her student days at St. Bartholomew's Hospital.
