Dr. Lena Sadler (June 9, 1875 — August 8, 1939) was an American physician, surgeon, and obstetrician who was a leader in women's health issues.
Lena Kellogg was born in Calhoun County, Michigan.
She was an attending obstetrician at Columbus Hospital and Children's Memorial Hospital, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, American Medical Association, Medical Women's International Association, Associate Director, Chicago Institute of Research & Diagnosis; one of the founders of the American Medical Women's Association, (President 1934, Secretary 1925–1926), Illinois Federation of Women's Clubs (Chairman of Child Welfare 1925), State of Illinois Department of Public Health and Child Welfare (Chairman 1926), Chicago Council of Medical Woman (President 1929, 1930, Secretary 1924–1925), Chicago Medical Society, Illinois State Medical Society, Chicago Medical Women's Club, Chicago Woman's Club, Chicago Chpt of the American Federation of Soroptimists and the Lakeview Women's Club.
After completing her literary education, she taught for two years, and then took up the nursing profession. It was while engaged in professional studies as a nurse that she met her husband, William S. Sadler, and they married in 1897. After their marriage, the active interest they both had taken in health matters turned their attention toward the profession of medicine. They pursued their medical studies together, and graduated with equal honors at the American Medical Missionary College (Illinois State University) in 1906. Their only living son was born in 1907, named William S. Sadler, Jr. She was one of many activists who diligently worked to recognize the contributions of women as professionals in the medical and scientific fields.
For twenty years Lena and her husband, William worked in rescue mission work for the Seventh-day Adventist Missions in Chicago and San Francisco. Lena concentrated on ministering to women detained in the Chicago jails. Lena and her family toured on the Redpath Chautauqua Circuit annually, lecturing on health. Dr Lena called together the first group of friends at their home that eventually became known as the Forum, the group that asked questions in response to papers read to them, which eventuated in the papers of The Urantia Book. Sadler, accompanied by her family, traveled to Paris for post graduate studies in 1928.
