⭐️✊🏾Black Excellence Series👊🏽⭐️
For this installment of the Black Excellence Series, we acknowledge Dr. Percy L. Julian!
In 1935, he synthesized the drug physostigmine; synthetic cortisone that was affordable and able to be mass-produced. Without this ground-breaking feat, many of our patients would not be able to supplement their physical therapy care for various forms of arthritis, sciatica, autoimmune diseases, and other inflammatory conditions. Black excellence opened up a new realm of possibilities for pain management and we are grateful for Dr. Julian’s contribution to our community and beyond!✊🏾
