! 5029 GIVEN CARE BY VISITING NURSES Migs Gertrude Bowling Re- ports on Work ef In- structive Soolety. A total of 5,029 patients were given eare by the Instructive Visiting Nurse Boclety during April, representing mem- bers of 3,361 families in the District, according to & report made to the board ©f managers of the organization by Mias Gertrude H. Bowling, executive direc- for, yesterday. ‘The report declared 14,641 visits were made by members of the society's staff | during last month, 10,337 of which were to destitute families alone. Nurses of the organization, Miss Bowling reported, have been given special instructions re- garding nutrition, since some of the rivate relief associations are unable 0 provide more than $3 a week to fam- ilies. The nurses are instructing moth- ers as to the best food values to be obtained for their money. Reports on Experiment. A report on the hourly nursing ex- Eflmem in Chicago also was discussed, ing led by Mrs. John W. Davidge, chairman of the Nurses'’ Committee. ve | Committee to Pass on Sug- years. “It is not generally understood,” she “that a public {\eut.h nursing as- sociation is a democratic community organization which provides part-time nursing care and health instructions to those who can pay in full for their service, as well as to the indigent sick of the community whose care is pro- vided for by donations made throum the Community Chest or directly to ti Visiting Nurse Soclety. Community health associations have the set-up to carry at a smaller cost than would oth- erwise be Smslhle, the hourly service, the general full-pay service and the free service for the destitute.” Sees Need for Service. Mrs. R. M. Kauffmann said she be- leved there is a real need for this 2? of servige and that many people would use such a service if they understood it was available. “The Visiting Nurse As- sociation employs a staff of 74 gradu- ate public health nurses, the majority of whom are graduates of the best hos- pitals of Washington and hence .are well known to the Washington physi- cians,” she said. “The Visiting Nurse Society is, therefore, in a strategic posi- tion in Washington since it offers em- ployment to many local nurses who need work and who meet its admission Tequirements for the staff. It also offers & high-grade, part-time graduate nurs- ing service that falls within the reach of those who can afford to pay and those who cannot.” The report of the Supply Committee was presented by Mrs. G. Howland Chase. The treasurer's Teport was given by Charles W. Pimper, assistant treas- urer, while Walter Bruce Howe, chair- | man of the Finance Committee, re-| ported on recommendations by that group. Mrs. John M. Sternhagen, chairman, reported for the Publicity Committee. The following members were elected | to the Nominating Committee to act for 1933: Mrs. Hutchinson I.
