According to the National Association for Home Care (NAHC) website (refer to the link, below) Lillian D. Wald (nurse, social activist, etc; 1867-1940), was responsible for organizing and creating many institutions which live on, today, including the Visiting Nurse Society, the Federal Children's Bureau, the Women's Trade Union League, et al.
Lillian Wald was a pioneering figure in public health nursing and social reform in the early 20th century. She founded the Henry Street Settlement in New York City, which provided essential services to immigrant communities, including healthcare, education, and cultural programs. Wald advocated for social justice, championing workers' rights and the needs of women and children, and played a crucial role in establishing the field of community nursing. Her efforts significantly influenced public health policy and laid the groundwork for modern social work.
After visiting a sick student, Lillian Wald was inspired to advocate for better healthcare and social conditions for children and families. This experience led her to establish the Henry Street Settlement in New York City, where she focused on providing medical care, education, and social services to underserved communities. Her work aimed to address the broader social determinants of health and improve the quality of life for those in need.
