Rebecca Parrish
Sarah Rebecca Parish (November 1, 1869 - August 22, 1952) known as Rebecca Parrish was an American medical missionary and physician in the Philippines.
Born in Crawfordsville, Indiana, Parrish attended the Medical College of Indiana. After working as an assistant physician, she joined the Women’s Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church which sent her to work in Manila, Philippines. She spent 30 years in the Philippines, becoming the first female doctor to practice in the country and greatly improving health in the area. She is widely credited for being the driving force behind the Mary Johnston Hospital, which provided maternal care and services to impoverished people and for establishing the first nurses training institute in the country.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gcah.org/site/c.ghKJI0PHIoE/b.8386431/ )〕
== Early Life: 1869-1906 ==
Parrish was born to Jesse Mallow Parrish and Mary Catherine Mitchell in 1869, raised as the eldest of nine children. She was raised in a small frontier cabin on a farm in Logansport, Indiana. A very religious family, The Parrishes would attend the Bethel Methodist Episcopal Church. As a child she was described as “earnest, thoughtful, always solicitous and serious”. She decided she wanted to be a missionary doctor at a young age after hearing stories from a missionary magazine called The Heathen Women’s Friend. Her plans were interrupted when her parents died, and she moved her family to Indianapolis to care for her siblings while attending school at Clinton County Normal School.
After graduating she started teaching at grammar schools in order to support her eight siblings. After attending Chicago Training School for one year, she decided to enroll in medical school at the Medical College of Indiana. Despite suffering frequent illnesses due to stress and overwork she graduated fourth in her class of 47 students in 1901. After interning at Wesley Hospital for a year she applied to be a missionary physician but she was denied because of her ill health, so instead she worked as an assistant physician at North Indiana Hospital for the Insane from 1902 to 1906. In 1906 when she was in the hospital recovering from another illness, she received a letter from the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church informing her that she was appointed to work in Manila, Philippines, to which she immediately agreed.
