Isaac Aaron
Isaac Aaron (1804–1877) was an English-born physician who rose to prominence combating cholera outbreaks around his city of birth, Birmingham, during the 1830s.
Instrumental in setting up a Central Board of Health for the area, and a member of the Society of Apothecaries and the Royal College of Surgeons, Aaron was considered posthumously as "one of the outstanding professional figures of his time".
