’ HEM/TH NURSES REPORT

Following is the Annual Report of ‘he Public Health Nursing Service,

Prince Edward Island Division, Can- adlan Red Cross Society, January l to December 31 ,1929. -'

Ladies and Gentlemen _.

A review of this ninth year of work of the Red Cross public health mlrsminthlsprovixioeshowsitto have been one of unusual smivity and 93911151011. The three county nurs- es in their rounds have rendered val- uable service ip a great number of Nollie and that Izheir advice and help are being appreciated is shown by the many requests and problems with which they are constantly having to deal.

School Service

Perhaps ths biggest venture this

year was the vaccination campaign which was conducted during the fall Dim/aha in 446. rural schools when 0.17! children were vaccinated. For anurnbercdyearsihspementage of mnvaocinated children attending the wunflv ediwls bad been alarmingly N851. the averagd for the province b67118 86 percent. It will be gratify- ing to note s. material lowering of this ‘when our records of nexr, year's iri- Epeoti are compiled. We now es- tlmolie that with the 6.127 children referred to andiho 15 percent pre- viously vaccinated. ‘l8 percent of the children attending the country K323 an 20w vaccinated, against the B5 percent fiflviously unvaoclrl- l/iedJtwoxlldboofthegi-eateutbm- efit to ihs people and wouldmake the effort put forth in the campaign more effective if the requirements of the Public Health and School Acts with regard to vaccination were strict-iv carried out.

The Provincial Government sup- plied the vaccine and Dr. Creelman Provincial Health Officer, gave gen- erous assistance with the m-ganiza- ticci of the campaign. Every rural school was given the opportunity of having a physician visit the school for the prurpose oi‘ “vaccinating the wpils and the majority of schools readily accepted the offer. Even in schools which were closed the trus- tees gafliered the pupils together and had them waiting at the school for flhs arrival of the doctor. In some cases. children who were unable b0 U0 110cm. When the doctor visited their school. attended the clinic at s neighbouring school. A fee of 25 ~ per child was merged to pay the doc- tors fu- their services and to cover their trflisportation expenses. Too mum cannot be said about the simp- ly splendid lac-operation given by the undical profession. ‘Ihirty-eigm doc- uu‘: assisted in the campaign which Mbkaintalofilildaysdllveirtime. 1U school inspections were made daring the year. 6.813 "children ex» litilflsd and. 300 health. islks given. man

Annual Meeting

“mod was spent on the Junior work {he membership yhich W88 1460 at the cud of the school year in June and 99 branches has expanded three times this sinceflofpivembfl’.

The children are tremendously in- terested in and keen about their health clubs and have worked very hard indeed to earn or raise the $707- 18 which they have contributed in fees and donations to the Junior Red Cross F‘und. ‘Ihis year they hBVB Pm" vided for the treatment of 93 chil- dren. Not only have the Junior bran- ches given ‘sex-vies’ by so generously supporting this fund, but they have provided for the sick and poor children in their own districts and have purchas ed equipment and made improve- menis in their school. By their ac- tlvitia they have extended their "Health and service“ mpgram. learn- ing by expel-laws what it means to promdo community welfare.

The circulation managers in the schools have found so many inter- ested readers of the Junior Red Cross Magazine that. our orders recently have increased 50 percent. Some of the branches have learned about, Jimior Red Cross members in New' Zealland. Austria. Japan, Porto Rico§ and the United States through the] medium of portfolios, of which 61 have been exchanged. The Junior, Course in home nursing and hygiene was given to 4 groups. Christmas remembrance! were sent to 56 chil- drm in whom we am interested. many of the toys having been made by hhe Junior mern‘ u.

Crippled Children’: Work

Dr. T. B. Acker cf Halifax, came to the province in June and again in October to hold clinics for the examination and treatment of orth- opedic cases. A total of 22a examin- ations was made. 1'75 for children and 53 for adults. Dr. Acker also performed 0 operations and l4 man- ipulations and applied 0 plaster casts in addition to moss which were put on following operations and men- imilations. This is only a record of mo” mama in hospital; there are many others ‘whose treatment con- sisted in the fitting of brows, plates. or other appliances. or massage and dren. oNt only have they provided exercising,

Wears greatly indebted to the Ro- tary Club for the spontaneous way in which the members have come to our assistance by providing transpor- i-a-tim for the children to and from our clinics and for the good time they gave inany of them at their annual picnic in the summer.

We regrstbd losing Miss Price, our masseusdwhohsdbeenw-ithusfor one and a half years, but were for- tunate in seeming Miss MacDonnell lo take her place.‘ Our Corrective Clinic has therefore continued to function three tum weakly and’ 33 children have received 250 massage treatments, correcflvasrsrcises, m.

with only a. few exceptions, our Tuberculosis Clinics have been held every Saturday morninif in Chm“ lotietown and once a month in our Surmnexside office. During the sum- mer clinics were amused in 32 "h" er centres when Dr. Creelman exam- lned cases in “the local doctors’ of- fices, qme total number of examina- tlons made in‘ the clinics organized by our Society was 443. which was 146 more than last Yeflf- of “m” Dr. Creeiman made many “h” chest examinations in addition to these Of the new cases examined 9i Weft found in which active tuberculosis was present or suspected. The nurses made 475'visits to the homes of tub- erculosis patients, an increase of 16X over last yen-i‘. It is indeed eh- coumging io know that the public is alive to thel seriousness of the iUbBrCiflOSlS situation as demonstra- m by the wonderful response w the sunam-lum camnaisn. and the WP- pom, given to the ‘ruberculosis Christ- mas Seal Sale.

Following the ruling made by the Provincial Government ihat all new students before entiering Prince of Wales College would be Tflqiilfvd m

Tiha Women's l “i/ute was very amive in making the prepara- tions for the clinic and in short or- der the Mhnsc was converted into a busy hospital with the parlor as op- crating room and the other rooms for wards.

In September last year the Society suffered a. great and irreparable loss in the death of Dr. S. R. Jenkins. who, for over twenty years was Sec- retary of this Society. He was one oil-ho founders of the Society in this province and gave most generously <of-his-tlmo and great ability to pro-

dcing everything in his power to bring it to its present position of Chief Health Agency in Prince Ed-

once the admiration, support, and co- operation of the whole province.

The year 1929’ will be recorded in our annals ‘as the most successful in our history, both in the variety and volume of good service performed.

In the fall" months a" ‘wonderful Provincial Campaign for the Vaccin- ation of school children was carried out by Miss Wilson and her staff of nurses, ‘ably supported and supervis- ed by- - Dr. Creelman, Provincial Health Officer and with the hearty support of the medical profession. As a result over 0,000 school children were vaccinated. ‘mfg will prqvq a wonderful safezuurd against small- DOX and will be the means of saving the Provincial Government thous- ands of. dollars. The School Ihflpgq- tion work has been carried on with the sams success which has char. acterlaed it since its inauguration and its beneficial results are becom- ing more evident each year.
