EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time at the Taos County Cooperative Health Association clinic near Questa, New Mexico in 1943. The image showcases the waiting room filled with young patients eagerly awaiting their turn for medical care. The composition of the photo is striking, as it beautifully portrays the diversity of this southwestern community. A group of children, both boys and girls, sit patiently on wooden benches while others stand against the walls. Their expressions range from curiosity to anticipation, reflecting their innocence and trust in this public health facility. One girl catches our attention with her unique hairstyle that perfectly frames her face. She sits attentively next to her unidentified sister who offers comfort during what may be an unfamiliar experience for them. Photographer John Collier expertly captures not only the physical surroundings but also conveys a sense of unity among these young patients from different backgrounds. This snapshot serves as a reminder of how healthcare can bring people together regardless of race or ethnicity. As we observe this historical scene frozen in time, we are reminded of the importance placed on providing accessible healthcare services even back then. This powerful image stands as a testament to the dedication and commitment shown by organizations like Taos County Cooperative Health Association towards improving public health in rural communities like Questa, New Mexico.
