Dr. Samuel Gibson Dixon (28 March 1851 - 26 Feb 1918) was the Commissioner of the State Department of Health in Pennsylvania from 1905 until his death[1]
Dr. Dixon was born in Philadelphia, attended private schooling, and went on to graduate with honors from the University of Pennsylvania in 1866[1]. He attended medical school at both King's College London and Pettenkofer's Laboratory of Hygiene in Munich[1].
His work in tuberculosis prevention is what brought him the most recognition however [2], with a tuberculosis facility being named after him[3].
