Besides being a charter member, he [Dr. Alexander L. Turner] claims to be the founder of the Dunbar Memorial Hospital. He was that institution's first Secretary and one of the first Trustees. It is known that during that institution's infancy and hardest struggles he paid out of his own resources, some of the bills incurred by the institution. The Board of Trustees appointed him surgeon to the hospital at its founding. Since then no other has been honored with that appointment.

DR. ALEXANDER L. TURNER A Leading Negro Physician and Surgeon of Detroit Dr. A. L. Turner may in many respects be regarded as one of the leading physicians in the country. Although a physician and surgeon, his special field is that of General Surgery. Preparation Beginning his college work at Buchtel College (now Akron University), Akron, Ohio, Dr. Turner left that institution before completing his course, leaving because he demanded equal opportunity for all students. Being the only colored student there at that time (he was also the first colored student ever to attend that institution), and finding prejudice rife, he left the institution, finally graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Michigan. Four years more were spent at Ann Arbor where his professional work was completed, leading to the degree of Doctor of Medicine. ... Since leaving the University of Michigan Dr. Turner has completed at Freedman's Hospital, Washington, D. C., a Post-Graduate course in General Operative Surgery. A Successful Practitioner Dr. Turner has practiced in Detroit for over ten years. He has practiced freely for ten years in Grace and Woman's Hospitals. Besides being a charter member, he claims to be the founder of the Dunbar Memorial Hospital. He was that institution's first Secretary and one of the first Trustees. It is known that during that institution's infancy and hardest struggles he paid out of his own resources, some of the bills incurred by the institution. The Board of Trustees appointed him surgeon to the hospital at its founding. Since then no other has been honored with that appointment. Has Two Assistants By hard work, perseverance, attention to business, plus ability, he has built up a lucrative practice in Detroit. He has two assistants and a chauffeur constantly employed, all of whom are encouraged in every way to improve and advance; proper remuneratory provision being made as an extra inducement. Special Field Dr. Turner's special field of work is that of General Surgery. He is recognized as being especially capable in that field, recognition coming from some of the oldest institutions in the city. Besides being a successful surgeon, he has been active in various forms of race uplift work. This work has been both general and specific—aid having been given in many cases to deserving aspiring students, five of whom are among Detroit's most successful and profitable professional and business men of today. As early as 1911, he began a chain of drug stores, the chief motive of which was to give employment to professional men of his race; and out of this project there has grown a powerful group of stores, owned and operated by colored men, which is second to none in the country. A man of Dr. Turner's ability and one exercising civic interest as he does, is indeed an asset to any community. Negro Detroit is proud of him—and certainly not without justifications.

The purposes of the Association are to study Sanitation, Hygiene and allied sciences; to maintain a public hospital for the treatment of various diseases, performing surgical operations necessary in the amelioration, eradication and prevention of the ills of humanity; and to maintain a school for the training of nurses. The Hospital is equipped with 37 beds and one private room, with an operating room supplied with the latest surgical apparatus, enabling the operating physician to perform all classes of operations. Since opening its doors to the public, Dunbar Hospital has shown remarkable growth. In a few years they have outgrown their original location. This first building is now used exclusively for the care of patients. A newly acquired building just to the left of their first building location houses the office, reception rooms and library, while the upper floors are devoted to quarters for nurses. Since its opening the Hospital has cared for more than 3,000 patients. A nurses' training school is carried on in connection with the work. Twenty-one persons now compose the regular hospital staff.

Mr. Green is a product of Detroit, having been born and reared here. His early education was obtained in the public schools of the city. Later he attended the University of Michigan for a number of years. For several years he has been actively identified with many fraternal organizations, especially the Elks. [photograph] MRS. LEONORA GREEN Lady Assistant at the Green establishment. Mrs. Leonora Green, Mr. Green's wife, fills the position of able lady assistant in the Green establishment; through her kindness and gentle manner in dealing with those whom it has been her privilege to serve, she has won many friends. Her sympathetic spirit has contributed quite as much to the success of the business as anything that is identified with the Green establishment. Her husband does not hesitate to say that she is largely responsible for his success and that she deserves as much credit as he would dare claim for himself.
