Lillian Wald: At Home on Henry Street
This video portrays the story of Lillian Wald, the nation's first Public Health Nurse and her cadre of other nurses and social reformers at the Henry Street Settlement. Her story of community based public health nursing and social advocacy is just as much an inspiration for us today, as it was to the nation's leaders in 1916.
The full length video is available through the Washington State Public Health Association for $25. There is also "Opening Doors" a video which portrays the history of public health nursing and the impact of public health nursing programs both in urban and rural settings.
