I worked with Dr. Canada at the Children Hospital of Michigan-Flint as her Operating room circulator. I so enjoyed her intelligence and her skills as a surgeon. She was well respected and a trusted surgeon in her field. I considered her a mentor and great inspiration for African American women.
I was a neurosurgery nurse at the U of Minnesota when she did her residency….I always felt the world could fall apart around her and she could pull it all back together again, incredible woman and physician…...
She is an amazing and awesome physician -surgeon! I learned about her several years ago and each time that I hear about her or read something about her I am just as proud and excited as the first time!
She also saved the life of one of my sons . She performed surgery on him as a newborn that saved his life, After he graduated high school. I looked her up and implored him to email her and thank her and let her know that his intentions were to become an pharmacist !!!
