Miguel Trujillo’s daughter, Josephine Waconda (1935–2013), served as assistant surgeon general, and was the first Native woman to achieve that rank in the U.S. Public Health Service, and dedicated her life to the health care of Native people in the United States. Waconda and her brother Dr. Michael Trujillo were the only two-star admirals in the military both from the same family at the same time.
