Nurses Provide
930 Visiting Hours
In 1962, the visiting nurses
provided 930 hours of nursing
care to 81 Clayton County sick
people. The Visiting Nurse Asso
ciation, an agency of the United
Appeal, Clayton County office is
located in the Clayton County
Court House, Room 104. You
may reach It by calling GR
8-8801.
Totally, the Visiting Nurse
Association, an agency of the
United Appeal, made 37,325 visits
to patients in the five counties
which they cover: Fulton, Cobb,
Gwinnett, DeKalb and Clayton.
Every patient in the area, from
Decatur to Duluth; from Avon
dale to Forest Park; from At
lanta to Lawrenceville received
professional care from the 22
nurses under the direction of
two supervisors, an executive
director and her assistant who
comprise the staff of the
Visiting Nurse Association.
A visiting nurse begins her
day at 8:00 in the morning, and
crams eight or nine calls of ap
proximately one hour into each
of her busy days. Whatever the
patient’s financial status may
be, he or she receives the same
thoughtful care. If the patient
is able to pay, the cost of a visit
is $3.75, and there is a sliding
scale for those unable to pay the
full amount. However, if the
patient is unable to pay, United
Appeal funds pay for the visits.
A visiting nurse handles all
cases of acute, chronic and
terminal illnesses. She gives 812
shots, hypodermics, baths, irri-

gations to the elderly. She
teaches paralytics how to talk,
bathe, feed themselves. She
changes surgical dressings, and
gives oral medication. Cancer
and cardiac cases count for
many visiting nurses’ hours-
Family tensions and emo
tional problems also demand
much of her attention. She
often teaches health procedures,
prevention of disease and de
formities and simple procedures
for handling patients, especially
new babies and very old adults.
One couple after 10 years of
marriage was so uninformed as
to whether their baby’s cries
meant hunger, pain or temper,
they remained in constant fear
of handling the infant. There
were frequent hurried calls for
their visiting nurse. She’s sel

a trying period has paid divi

tion has covered a lot of mileage

CARD OF THANKS

to thank the many, many friends for their sympathy,
condolences, friendship, aid in the hour of need, and

without the aid and comfort of their friends. Thank
all of you for everything.
