Dr. Alexa Canady was on academic probation as an
undergraduate at the University of Michigan, so she has
a hard time believing she is now a mentor to young
women. \”I didn\’t consider myself a role model until it
became clear that other people did,\” said Canady, chief
of neurosurgery at Children\’s Hospital of Michigan in
Detroit.




Canady was at the Flint Public Library talking to a group
of mostly women and girls Tuesday about the significant
role libraries have played in her life. The program was
part of the library\’s Women\’s History Month celebration.
