VISITING NURSE
CALLS IN YEAR
NUMBER 3,47S
Reports at Annual Meeting of
Association Tuesday Reveal
Remarkable Growth of Work
During Past Seven Years.

Effort to bring the work of the aS-
sociation TO the highest state of use
fulness was the keynote of the annual
meeting of the Visiting Nurse associa-
tion held Tuesday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. Richard G.. InwoOd on
w. Washington av. The desire to
make the work as efficient as possible
was brought out in each of the re-
ports made by officers and chairmen
of committees, as was also the marked
success of the association thus far.
The meeting was largely attended by
the general membership and an in
formal tea followed.
Mrs. +. r. Austin, vice president
and chairman eXOthciO of the nurse
committee, gave an interesting report
Mrs. George NJ. Studebaker, jr., read
the treasurer's report; Miss Margaret
Cutler gave the secretary's report;
Mrs. w. X LampOrt, report of finance
committee; Mrs. George Mayr, report
of supplies committee, and Mrs. Mary
McGee, head nurse, read a statistical
report partially prepared by Miss
Monica Makielski before her resigna-
tiOn. Mrs. MCGEE contributed also an
exceptionally interesting feature in a
paper on the general subject of the
visiting nurse work for which she was
specially prepared by training In BOs-
ton.
From a comparison given in Mrs.
AustinS report the work of the as
sociatiOn shows an enormous increase
during the past seven years. In 1907
the number of calls made during the
year was $50. During the year just
past 3,479 calls were made, an aver
age Of II a day.
Gives Hygiene Instruction.
The sick calls by no means cover
the work of the nurse, according to
the report, for she frequently stops to
give instructions in cleanliness and
personal hygiene as well as specific
directions for care of the patient The
association also furnished food and
clothing in many cases where il is
necessary and advisable to do so. The
nurse committee, composed Of IL
members. meets once a month just
prior TO the board meetings and hears
a detailed report from the nurse on
the cases which she is attending. a
discussion follows and special provi-
sions are made for the various patients
in the way of food. clothing and
reading matter.
The nurse committee also assumes
the duty OF calling upon the sick.
