Abstract

Victor George Heiser, who was a preeminent public health physician, created a rich archive of material documenting all phases of his career, especially the international health work of the Rockefeller Foundation from 1915-1934. There are voluminous, detailed, and interesting diaries for the whole course of his adult life (1890-1972). There are notebooks reflecting on his early training and work (1890-1907), and lectures he attended at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia (1897).

Background note

Victor George Heiser (1873-1972), medical doctor and public health administrator, was born in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. On 31 May 1889, his parents perished in the Johnstown flood, but Heiser, clinging to the roof of a barn, was swept to safety. At age 16, he was alone. While working at various trades, he acquired enough credits to enroll at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, receiving his M.D. in 1897. The following year he was appointed Assistant Surgeon in the Public Health Service. His experiences as a medical examiner at the ports of Boston and New York, led him overseas to Italy and Egypt to discover the source of plague infested shipments to the United States.

From 1905-1914, Dr. Heiser served as Director of Health of the Philippines, fighting such diseases as cholera, smallpox, bubonic plague, and leprosy. With his introduction of vaccinations, quarantine colonies, and hospitals throughout the country, Dr. Heiser and his staff managed to reduce the amount of deaths due to these diseases by half of their previous totals.

In 1915, Dr. Heiser joined the Rockefeller Foundation as Associate Director of the International Health Division. For twenty years, he traveled continuously around the world, inaugurating health campaigns in East Asia and promoting an interexchange of experiments in hygiene.

Upon his retirement from the Rockefeller Foundation in 1935, Dr. Heiser turned his attention to public health issues and the advancement of industrial medicine. For twenty-five years, as Advisor on Occupational Medicine for the National Association of Manufacturers, he advocated for the prevention of industrial accidents and deaths.

The expanse of his activities has included being Director of the American Museum of Health, Chairman of the National Malaria Committee, the Medical Advisory Committee on the New York World's Fair of 1939, and President of the International Leprosy Association from 1931-1938. His publications include An American Doctor's Odyssey, Toughen Up, America, and You're the Doctor.

At his death, at nearly one hundred years, Dr. Heiser was still actively pursuing his life work.
