Community Nursing Committee Meets to Plan Clark County Health Center
The Community Nursing Committee met at the Chamber of Commerce to discuss carrying on work under the Sheppard Towner Act. Miss Luciel A. Withers reported the American Legion offered its building for a health center, a motion accepted. The group outlined equipment needs and funding via the Finance Committee, with each organization contributing and funds allocated accordingly. Withers runs four Las Vegas home nursing classes and others in Moapa and Virgin Valleys, plus high school classes locally. The committee noted the Moapa Valley scarlet fever response as proof of value, as Withers deputized by Dr. Hewetson organized a mass meeting and strict quarantine. Social gatherings were banned and children were kept home if symptomatic, until cleared by Dr. Hartson.
