Dorothy Celeste Boulding Ferebee (October 10, 1898 - September 14, 1980) was an African-American physician and activist.
Ferebee was instrumental in establishing the Southeast Neighborhood House, an adjunct of the whites-only Friendship House medical center, to provide medical care and other community services to African-Americans in Washington, D.C. She also served as the first medical director for the Mississippi Health Project, which deployed mobile medical units throughout impoverished regions of the deep South.
She was born in Norfolk, Virginia. Her parents were Benjamin and Florence Boulding. When her mother became ill Dorothy went to live with a great-aunt in Boston, Massachusetts. Dorothy graduated from Simmons College in Boston, Massachusetts, and Tufts University Medical School.
In 1928, Ferebee married Claude Thurston Ferebee, dentist and medical educator at Howard University. Dorothy gave birth to a set of twins, Claude Jr. and Dorothy. The couple divorced after thirty years of marriage.
She was the first recipient, in 1959, of Simmons College's Alumnae Achievement Award. The college also awards several scholarships in her name each year.
Ferebee served as the tenth International President of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. from 1939 until 1941. She then served as the second president of the National Council of Negro Women, from 1949 to 1953, succeeding its founder, Mary McLeod Bethune. She also served as the director of health services at Howard University Medical School from 1949 until 1968.
Ferebee died on September 14, 1980, in Washington D.C.
