Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Victoria M. Stevens (b. 1951) practiced in Globe, Arizona, in the same town where she was born. As a woman physician and a member of the San Carlos Apache tribe, she served as a role model for young women interested in following in her footsteps. To help raise awareness of the success of women physicians from all sorts of backgrounds, she was among several women surgeons featured in the 2002 National Institutes of Health video Women are Scientists.
