The Visiting Nurse Association of Springfield Nursing Service in Wilbraham
The Health Program in 1953 continued in an attempt to better serve the health needs of the community. The Usual "Well Child Conference" was conducted by Dr. John P. Sigsbee and Mrs. Bernice Chapin, Dental Hygienist on May 12, 13 and 14, 19 and 20th at Memorial School. Each Preschool child attending had complete phys- ical and dental examinations and the necessary "booster shots." Many interested parents had opportunity to discuss their problems at Clinic, with follow-up by a visit to their own doctor, and confer- ences with the Visiting Nurse at home.
Mrs. Carl Nelson and her committee generously volunteered their time and effort in preparing for the Clinic and provided transporta- tion where needed.
A total of 91 children attended the Conference this year. Among the findings were -
Number given Toxoid Booster 31
Number needing Vaccination 78
Number needing Dental Attention 9
Number with Enlarged Tonsils 12
Number with Heart Murmurs 2
Number with Rheumatic Fever 1
Number with Postural Defects 2
Number with Skin Disturbances 5
Number with Umbilical Hernia 2
Number with Speech Difficulties 1
It has indeed been a pleasure to work with so many well informed, cooperative parents.
Three hundred and fifteen cases were given service during 1953 and a total of 1318 home visits were made.
The need for bedside nursing service has increased appreciably (by 30%) in the course of the year. A total of 635 morbidity visits were made to 41 families. 112 of these visits were made to Cancer patients, 83 to people with Heart trouble, 94 to Fracture and other Orthopedic Casualties, 3 to patients with an Acute Communicable Disease and the remaining 323 to general morbidity cases.
93
NURSING SERVICE IN WILBRAHAM (Continued)
Forty-three and one-half nursing days were spent in the Educa- tional Health Program. 683 visits were made to 274 maternity pa- tients, infants and preschool children.
In conclusion, I wish to thank the Board of Selectmen, Miss Helen Boden and Mrs. Gwendolyn Buchanan for their willing assistance in our endeavor to improve the health of the community.
Respectfully submitted,
The Visiting Nurse Association of Springfield HELEN D. JAY, R.N.
