Florence Yount was the first woman physician in Prescott. She devoted herself to her community through obstetrics and pediatrics and civic projects aimed at improving public health. She established a healthcare clinic for babies in Prescott and provided healthcare in Prescott during World War II, when most of the men had left the community to fight in the war. After the war she joined the State Welfare Board and helped provide grants for programs to the crippled, blind, and poorly educated Indian children.
