Robert Fortuine
Robert Fortuine was a physician who spent twenty-two years in Alaska, most of them as a clinician or a hospital director with the Indian Health Service. In 1989, he joined the faculty of the Biomedical Program at the University of Alaska Anchorage, where he taught clinical medicine to the first-year medical students in the Washington/Alaska/Montana/Idaho (WAMI) program affiliated with the University of Washington Medical School. He wrote extensively on the history of medicine in Alaska and the Arctic regions. The Alaska Historical Society named him Alaska Historian of the Year in 1990 in recognition of his book Chills and Fever, and again in 2005 for "Must We All Die?"
