Public Nurse Finds Work Is
Preventing Curing Disease;
Education Important Factor
By Maslne Boren
On Friday, the - public health
nurse will have her day. January
28 is set aside as national public
health nursing day, designed jto
call public attention to that effi
cient and far reaching public ser
vice. '
An assignment ; to write about
the activities of the public health
nurses of Marion county was no
small job. v
The public health nurse has
changed from a i lone angel of
mercy, wno calls at tne names ox
the poor and ill, to the efficient
public health worker who finds a
dozen important Jobs on her daily
schedule.
Not only does the public health
nurse of today 'tend the sick she
also educates in ways to remain
welt She conducts a school hy
giene program, examines food
handlers, and supervises chest x
ray examinations all for the pur
pose of warding off disease before
it strikes.
Started With Bang
With Largej Staff :
Marion county was one of five
in the United States to set up a
model health department with
special funds. So in 1925 it start
ed with a bang, with a large train
ed staff. When this program was
completed . a permanent depart
ment was set up, and has contin
ued as an excellent and efficient
organization.
At present the : local staff in
cludes eight public health nurses,
with Bernice Yeary as supervisor.
Merwyn Darby covers territory in
the north end of Marion county,
Audrey Smith serves the southern
part and Jewell Walter takes care
of the eastern portion including
Silverton. Evelyn Rasley Is pub
lic health nurse for the Salem
routes area, Portia Conway for
South Salem and Marjorie Wykoff
for North Salem. Grace Taylor
is clinic nurse.
While there is supposed to be
one health nurse for every 500
persons in an area, and Marion
county has a population of around
75,000, the small staff in the Mar
ion county office accomplishes big
things.
Here is a brief resume ofthe
work done by the Marion county
public health nursing staff:
