Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores public health nursing in the United States from its inception to its state at the end of the First World War. United States' public health infrastructure deeply lagged that of European counterparts in the early 20th century, and the author highlights how that disparity motivated a national effort to strengthen public health initiatives. To improve the health and safety of their citizens, the author thoroughly examines the challenges that arose from the country's size and its diverse population, including the need to overcome state and regional divides in the approach to public health. The author also discusses how gaps in public health policy and a shortage of qualified personnel impacted efforts to combat infant mortality and the spread of infectious diseases. This book provides valuable historical context that remains relevant to today's public health practitioners and is a significant resource for those interested in the history of healthcare in the United States.
