Daniel Hale Williams (January 18, 1856[a] – August 4, 1931) was an American surgeon and hospital founder. An African American, he founded Provident Hospital in 1891, which was the first non-segregated hospital in the United States. Provident also had an associated nursing school for African Americans. He is known for having completed the first successful heart surgery.[1][2]
In 1913, Williams was elected as the only African-American charter member of the American College of Surgeons.[1]
