Senator Pepper
Praises Nurses
For Their Work

This is Public Health Nurse
Week, and Senator Claude Pep
per has issued the following
statement about the observance:
''This week our nation OBJ
serves Know Your Public Health
Nurse week. l join with the citi-
zens of Florida in paying tribute
to these women whose services
are devoted to the protection of
the health of Floridians. With the
tradition of selfless service in
the cities, in the towns and less
populous counties of Florida,
these nurses have held the fort
against ill-health and disease.
''The public health service
nurse works with and for human
beings, to help them improve in
health, avoid sickness, and to deal
effectively with illness or acct
dent. Yes, she gives care to the
newborn child and to its moth
err. She guides families in find
ing assistance for their mental.
emotional and social problems.
She aids families in carrying out
doctors orders. The public health
service nurse is the nurse, the
teacher of good health to every
Floridian, regardless of his or her
income,
'More than 80 agencies in
Florida employ over 200 public
health nurses. There is at least
one in each of the 81 counties
of Florida. Thirty-six of our
counties have organized county
units. These nurses work today
with local health departments,
schools, tuberculosis associations
and other agencies.
Il believe that public health
nursing offers career possibilities
for our young women. Our needs
are great. To render complete
public health nursing service,
Florida needs about 1000 public
health nurses or roughly 700
more than now.
$50 today I salute the public
health nurses of Florida wherever
they may be serving. So today
I urge young women to choose
public health nursing as a career
