In the next 10 years, the hospital would offer a variety of services like a mother’s club that provided women with all the resources and post-natal care they needed after giving birth, a well-baby clinic, etc.
While running the hospital, Georgia was also very involved in her local community, volunteering for several organizations and providing charitable works through the local Baptist church.
She sat on the Board of Directors of Atlanta’s Urban League and worked as a girls’ physician at Morris Brown University.
Amazingly, the hospital operated out of the same rented rooms for 27 years until it was time for Georgia to retire and move to Chicago. The Dwelle Infirmary closed in 1949.
During her later years, Georgia was made vice president of the National Medical Association, an organization made for Black physicians, and served on several national and international committees.
Georgia continued to serve others and focused on providing accessible resources and healthcare to those who needed it most until she passed away in 1977 at 93.
Her career was extremely impressive, and her bravery, intelligence, and hard work will always be remembered.
