William Crawford Gorgas KCMG (October 3, 1854 - July 3, 1920) was a United States Army physician and 22nd Surgeon General of the U.S. Army (1914-1918). He is best known for his work in Florida, Havana and at the Panama Canal in abating the transmission of yellow fever and malaria by controlling the mosquitoes that carry these diseases. At the time, his strategy was greeted with considerable skepticism and opposition to such hygiene measures. However, the measures he put into practice as the head of the Panama Canal Zone Sanitation Commission saved thousands of lives. Gorgas served as president of the American Medical Association in 1909-10. He was appointed as Surgeon General of the Army in 1914. In 1914, Gorgas and George Washington Goethals were awarded the inaugural Public Welfare Medal from the National Academy of Sciences. In early 1905 President Theodore Roosevelt read the American Medical Association Commission report and decided to replace the commission members, reorganize the sanitary department, and replace Gorgas. Dr. William Allen Welch, the dean of the Johns Hopkins Medical School in Baltimore, Maryland, advised Roosevelt that no one was as qualified as Gorgas in the sanitation field, however, and Roosevelt promised to retain Gorgas and to support his work. In mid-1905, Roosevelt appointed a new chief engineer who believed in the mosquito theory and supported Gorgas. The subsequent two years were "halcyon days," as Gorgas described them. The sanitary department in Panama accomplished more than at any other time in the construction of the canal, and yellow fever cases took a steep decline. In November 1906 Roosevelt visited the canal, praised Gorgas's work, reorganized the canal administration, and made the sanitary department responsible only to the chairman of the canal commission.
