Senator Montgomery honors constituent and trailblazer, Dr. Mildred Clarke
August 5, 2017
State Senator Velmanette Montgomery joined the Brooklyn Community Services (BCS) family to honor Dr. Mildred Clarke, MD, who retired from the organization's Board of Directors after 19 years of service.
Dr. Clarke is one of Brooklyn’s first African American woman GYN physicians to own a private practice. During her 40 years of practice, Dr. Clarke delivered over 5,000 babies. She is a longtime resident of the Prospect Heights neighborhood.
Although she will be retiring from the BCS Board, Dr. Clarke will continue her literary program mentoring with the women of the BCS Transitional Living Community (TLC), a temporary homeless shelter for women who are recovering from severe traumas and being prepared for permanent housing.
To learn more about Dr. Clarke, download the Legislative Proclamation honoring her service to the community and to the families in New York State.
