NWHM: Lilian Wald

2009-03-23 | Filed Under Uncategorized |

Lillian Wald was a pioneer in the field of public health nursing. She has often been credited with starting the public health movement in the United States (Biography Resource Center). In addition to her passion to serve the community, Wald was also an advocate for underserved populations; namely women, children, and immigrants. She founded the Henry Street Settlement in New York City to provide services to those in need. You can find out more about Lillian Wald by visiting the CDC website.
