Nearly All-Female Trauma Surgical Staff Stands Out In Modesto

Feb. 3 was National Women Physicians Day and a hospital in Modesto celebrated by shining a light on its nearly all-female surgical staff.

The group gathered on the helipad of Doctors Medical Center in Modesto for a picture perfect moment in an area of the hospital they rarely get to see. It was a symbolic act, on the rooftop of the hospital, illustrating how the female physicians shattered the glass ceiling to become leaders in a male-dominated field.
