Virginia Apgar was an American physician, obstetrical anesthesiologist and medical researcher, best known as the inventor of the Apgar score, a way to quickly assess the health of a newborn child immediately after birth in order to combat infant mortality. In 1952, she developed the 10-point Apgar score to assist physicians and nurses in assessing the status of newborns. Given at one minute and five minutes after birth, the Apgar test measures a child’s breathing, skin color, reflexes, motion, and heart rate. A friend said, “She probably did more than any other physician to bring the problem of birth defects out of back rooms.” She was a leader in the fields of anesthesiology and teratology, and introduced obstetrical considerations to the established field of neonatology.
Virginia Apgar was born on June 7, 1909, in Westfield, New Jersey, United States. Her birth geographical coordinates are 40° 39’ 32” North latitude and 74° 20’ 51” West longitude, with an altitude of 39 meters above sea level. Virginia Apgar passed away at the age of 65 in 1974.
Astrologically, Virginia Apgar falls under the Sun sign of Gemini, with Virgo as her Ascendant, Aquarius as her Moon sign, and Virgo as her Black Moon Lilith sign.
