Contributed by Karen Mitchell

Corwin, Richard Dr., Hired by the Colorado Coal and Iron Co. in 1881 to establish a medical department that would serve Pueblo and its coal camps, Corwin immersed himself in the total health care of his patients. The bachelor doctor sponsored kindergartens to help non-English-speaking children succeed in school, founded Minnequa Hospital's nursing school and started cooking classes for women so they could provide more nutritious family meals.
