Born to Japanese-American parents, she was forced to work at an internment camp in California, providing medical care to Japanese-American internees during World War II. She completed her training in Chicago before returning to Los Angeles in 1948, where she practiced for more than 50 years. Early lifeShigekawa was born in 1913 in South Pasadena, California. Her father, Tsunetaro Shigekawa, worked as a gardener and a hog farmer, while her mother, Shina (Nagasaki) Shigekawa, was a picture bride; both had migrated to the United States from Shikoku.[1] She and her twin sister, younger sister, and younger brother grew up in a house on Central Avenue in Los Angeles, in a neighborhood that housed numerous Japanese Americans.[2] She was inspired to become a physician when her father was hospitalized for pneumonia.[3] After graduating from Jefferson High School, she studied at University of Southern California (USC) and then the Stritch School of Medicine at Loyola University Chicago.[1] She had wanted to complete her medical degree at USC, but when she applied in 1935 the university did not admit women to the medical program.[4] She graduated from Loyola in 1940.[5] CareerShigekawa completed her medical internship at Mercy Hospital in Bay City, Michigan, where she became the second female intern.[4] She began her residency at Los Angeles County Hospital but all of the hospital's Japanese-American staff were dismissed in 1941 in the aftermath of the attack on Pearl Harbor. She then worked briefly at Seaside Memorial Hospital before being forced to move to the Santa Anita Assembly Center, a processing center for the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, where she was one of seven physicians of Japanese background who provided care for 17,000 inmates.[1] Shigekawa was the youngest of the doctors at 29 years old, and the only woman.[2] When she was ordered to move to Wyoming to work at the Heart Mountain Relocation Center, another internment camp for Japanese Americans, she sent letters to the government saying that she refused to go and that if forced to move there she would not work.[4] She was subsequently released to live in Chicago, where she finished her residency in obstetrics at Walter Memorial Hospital. She worked at a private practice with another woman physician until 1948, when she returned to Los Angeles.[3] Shigekawa set up a medical practice on Santa Monica Boulevard in Hollywood in 1949. In the same year, she began working at Queen of Angels Hospital in Los Angeles, where she was the first Japanese-American staff member, and in 1977 she became the first woman to be elected president of the hospital.[2] She worked at her Hollywood practice for more than 50 years, and in 2000 she estimated that throughout her career she had delivered between 20,000 and 30,000 babies.[6] In 1993, Shigekawa received Loyola University's Stritch Award "for outstanding research or humanitarian contributions in medicine".[5] She served as president of Japanese Community Health Inc. and was a member of the Japanese American Medical Association.[3] DeathShigekawa died in Los Angeles on October 18, 2013, aged 100.[3] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://content.cdlib.org/view?docId=ft358003z1;NAAN=13030&doc.view=frames&chunk.id=d0e17957&toc.depth=1&toc.id=d0e17957|title=Sakaye Shigekawa|date=December 14, 1997|publisher=University of California Libraries|accessdate=September 4, 2015}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Shigekawa, Sakaye}}2. ^1 2 {{cite news|url=http://articles.latimes.com/1999/dec/28/local/me-48137|title=For Doctor, Time Has Much to Heal|first=Jocelyn Y.|last=Stewart|date=December 28, 1999|work=Los Angeles Times|accessdate= September 4, 2015}} 3. ^1 2 3 {{cite news|url=http://www.rafu.com/2013/10/pioneering-nisei-doctor-sakaye-shigekawa-dies-at-100/|work=Rafu Shimpo|title= Pioneering Nisei Doctor Sakaye Shigekawa Dies at 100 |date=October 28, 2013|accessdate=September 4, 2015}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Wp9kPyeoCgUC&pg=PA162|title=Japanese American Midwives: Culture, Community, and Health Politics, 1880-1950|first=Susan Lynn|last=Smith|page=162|publisher=University of Illinois Press|year=2005|isbn=9780252030055}} 5. ^1 {{cite news|url=http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1993-11-14/features/9311140362_1_alumna-humanitarian-japanese-internment-camp|title=Alumna honored: Dr. Sakaye Shigekawa, who has delivered...|date=November 14, 1993|work=Chicago Tribune|accessdate=September 4, 2015}} 6. ^{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iO0kAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA198|title=City Girls: The Nisei Social World in Los Angeles, 1920-1950|first=Valerie J.|last=Matsumoto|pages=198–199|year=2014|publisher=Oxford University Press|isbn=9780199752249}} 13 : 1913 births|2013 deaths|American centenarians|American obstetricians|American women of Japanese descent|American women physicians|American physicians of Japanese descent|Japanese-American internees|Loyola University Chicago alumni|People from South Pasadena, California|Physicians from California|University of Southern California alumni|Women centenarians |
