Abstract:
This collection contains the records of the Visiting Nurse Association of Ambler and Vicinity, which merged into the Visiting Nurse Association of Eastern Montgomery County in 1984. These records, which include board and commitee minutes, agreements, policy manuals, and nine scrapbooks, document the development of a suburban visiting nurse association.

The Visiting Nurse Association of Ambler and Vicinity was formally established in 1923 and incorporated in 1930 under the name of the North Penn Community Center. In 1954, it officially changed its name to the North Penn Visiting Nurse Association, and in July 1976, changed again to the Visiting Nurse Association of Ambler and Vicinity. In 1984, it merged into the Visiting Nurse Association of Eastern Montgomery County (See collection MC 25).

Throughout its time, the association addressed many local health issues. The agency originated in the Red Cross home service branch in Ambler. During its establishment, it cared for discharged soldiers and their dependents in 1918. As the wartime activities ended, interest in providing services to civilian cases developed. Mrs. George J. Cooke was appointed to study the situation and report to the Red Cross committee. In 1919, a social worker was engaged. In October 1920, the Colony Club of Ambler, at Mrs. Cooke's request, decided to join the Red Cross Committee in giving the newly formed service to the community. The first nurse was engaged in 1921. Two more were employed the next year. In 1923, baby clinics were started in three localities. The Red Cross Roll Call, the work of the Needlework Guild, and the Sale of Tuberculosis Seals also took place at the center. During the Depression years, the center engaged in relief work, dispensing aid to the unemployed.

Later, in 1941, Miss Mae Garrett was appointed director, and she stressed functions of public health nursing such as good nursing care, health instruction, referral for families with special problems, and assistance in the planning of a community health program. In April 1941, 169 patients were aided in an influenza epidemic. Maternity ward patients were referred to the center. Health lectures were given. Pre-school examinations and tuberculosis programs continued. The staff was increased to four nurses. Health supervision was carried on in seven area schools. In 1943, over 5,000 nursing visits were made. In 1947, the child health clinic was re-established and included well-baby and dental clinics. In 1955, the agency assisted in a program of Salk polio immunizations at a local school. The operations of the association changed even further with the advent of Medicare in 1966, especially in the policies, procedures, certifications, and other aspects of the agency.

In early years, funds were raised through an annual drive, rummage sales, and Salvage Shop. The agency's record of receiving funds from the Community Chest (the United Fund, and later the United Way of Philadelphia) started in early 1950's. Since 1955, appropriations have also been received from the townships and boroughs the agency serves as well as from the county. Other sources of income are the Department of Public Welfare, the American Cancer Society, the Veteran Administration, Blue Cross, and Medicare.

The collection consists of a comprehensive variety of records documenting the development of the suburban visiting nurse association. Besides a large quantity of formal records (Board and committee records), it also contains all kinds of administration files (such as agreements, correspondence, policy manuals), financial file, and files of other organizations. Also included are some photographs and nine well-kept scrapbooks (mostly of newsclippings).
