Report Of Public Health Nurse
The report of the Public Health
Nurse. Miss Sarah v Sutherland. was
/ a revelation. 1t showed the great
amount OF work accomplished during
/ the past year. an increase over last
OF 2,oe0 nursing visits, and also an
/ increase over last year Of $50 schools
examined. and an increase Of loss
visits to clinic by children.
The Public Health Nurses report
/ follows:
I'm submitting this report l wish to
say that had il not been for the valu-
able mad remarkable support given me
by my assistants. first Miss Simmons,
then her successor. Miss Ruth Dulin,
/ this piece of work could not have been
accomplished as completely. During
! the year we were fortunate enough to
get a L. S. Government clinic for So
! cial diseases established at Annapolis
the nursing supervision of which was
! 10 be conducted by the nurses Prior
to the opening of this clinic. all such
| patients had to be taken to Baltimore
for treatme mt, very often at the ex-
pense of the local organization The
I clinic had it's initial session on Sept
2. 1919, and from that time until the
present. 1913 treatments have been
given; each sone which would have
teen given in Baltimore had we not
1 had the cline and so we know that
over 500 has been saved. Then, the
clinic supplements the nurses salary
by one-third, another advantage not
to lie overlooked
The school work is still uncom-
pleted, many schools in remote dis
tricts. and off of ear lines, have not
been reached Within the last two
weeks we have gotten calls to come
to two such schools, and just as soon
as the roads are in little better
condition we shall respond
One course of lectures on first aid
and bedside care was given during
the winter to the Girls Friendly So
ciety of st Anne's Church.
A course OF lectures IN medical So
cial service has just been completed
10 the student nurses OF the Emerg-
ency Hospital
I'VE are indebted to the Maryland
Board of Health for disinfectant
apparatus.
