Negative taken of Dr. Sameul L. Kountz, a kidney transplant specialist. Born in Lexa, Lee County, Arkansas on October 20, 1930, Dr. Sameul L. Kountz wanted to be a doctor from a young age. After receiving a Bachelor of Science from A.M. & N. in 1952, Dr. Kountz received a masters degree in Biochemistry at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, Washington County and was one of the first African Americans admitted to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock, Pulaski County in 1958. Primarily practicing in California and New York, Kountz became a pioneer in the fields of organ transplant and immunology. His help in developing a kidney transplant machine made kidney translants possible. His work in drug therapy lead to solutions for some critical problems with organ rejection. Dr. Kountz was credited with performing more than 500 kidney transplants when he passed away in 1981.
