In 1923, Dr. Stuart opened and operated a dispensary in Shiraz with Dr. Donald Carr, a fellow missionary physician; by the time the construction started in earnest in 1929, however, Dr. Carr had returned home and left the brunt of the responsibility on Dr. Stuart's shoulders. Her decades of consistent leadership paved the way for the CMS to send additional medical missionaries, like Dr. Winifred Westlake in 1902 and Dr. Catherine Ironside in 1904-1905, to sustainably continue her work. Her successful women's hospital model also allowed for regional scaling in Yezd by Dr. Urania Latham.
