After graduating from Loma Linda University Medical School, Mamie Guthrie Pallesen, M.D., came to Lodi with her doctor-husband in 1942. She practiced general medicine and surgery. A member of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, she encouraged “mental hygiene” and abstinence from alcohol. At one time her office was in the Masonic Lodge at 315 W Pine Street, and she belonged to the group of doctors who purchased the Buchanan Sanitarium.
