Olga Maria Von Tauber (April 12, 1907 in Vienna, Austria – 2002 in New York City, USA) was a psychiatrist and philanthropist, who served in the hospitals of Long Island, New York, United States. Life and career Olga Von Tauber was born to Edward (father) and Anna Fletcher Beck (mother) in Vienna, Austria, on April 12, 1907. She completed her B.S. degree from College of Mariahilf in 1925. On December 14, 1931, she married Robert Frank Von Tauber, Ph.D., who was a chemist and later served as United States’ Consul General of Haiti. During 1931–32, she worked as an intern at the Vienna Clinic for Internal Medicine. Von Tauber received her M.D. from the State University of Vienna in 1932. Olga Von Tauber came to the United States from Vienna at the age of 38 in 1945, and became a naturalized citizen in 1951. In the US, she started her career as a resident doctor at St. Joseph's Hospital at Bronx, NY, during 1946–47. Later, she obtained board certification in psychiatry from the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN). For a brief period (1944–45), she served as a visiting professor to the University of Haiti at Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Since the 1950s, Dr. Von Tauber had been serving in Kings Park State Hospital in various positions, initially as supervising psychiatrist, then promoted from assistant to associate director in 1967. She became the first woman director in 1968. The authors Kaufman and O'Leary in their study in 1972, while acknowledging Dr. Von Tauber's support, mention her as the director of Northeast Nassau Psychiatric Hospital, Kings Park, New York. In 1968 the Commissioner of Mental Hygiene, Alan D. Miller, MD, who later became the Training Director in the Department of Psychiatry at Stony Brook, appointed her Director of the newly established Northeast Nassau Psychiatric Hospital. The new hospital was located on the grounds of Kings Park, but was separate from it. Dr. Von Tauber retired in 1976 when Northeast Nassau was merged with a similar facility on the grounds of Pilgrim. After retirement, she joined the voluntary faculty of the Department of Psychiatry at Stony Brook while practicing at Nassau University Medical Center. The National faculty directory, in 1986, reported that Von Tauber was a faculty member of the Department of Clinical Psychiatry at SUNY Health Science Center at Stony Brook, New York. Dr. Von Tauber died at the age of 95.
