Christmas Health Seals Mailed To 8,300 In Cedar Rapids
The Public Health Nursing association mailed 8,300 Christmas Health Seals to Cedar Rapids residents and businesses to fund local health programs and support the national tuberculous campaign led by the National Tuberculosis Association. Funds aid sick in the community, health education, and a portion supports Iowa tuberculosis and disease prevention efforts. Forty countries participate in the international drive led by Franklin D. Roosevelt. Mrs. J. W. Ballard urged continued local support and noted nursing service in 1936. 3,061 patients served, 8,713 home visits to 2,900 households, with maternity, prenatal, and infant care included.
