[color=#2d5a8c]nursing moves into the home

lillian wald experienced a watershed moment early in her career. when she happened to visit a mother at home and found her hemorrhaging after childbirth, wald realized she had no idea what disadvantaged women faced in their daily lives. wald began visiting clients in their homes and teaching them how to care for themselves.

wald and mary brewster started the henry street visiting nurse service in 1893, and within 10 years they had a team of 20 nurses and had established innovative health, educational, and recreational programs. the nurses from the henry street settlement visiting nurse service became the visiting nurse service of new york in 1944, one of the templates for home care nursing services everywhere.
