Nurse Lena Graber’s decades of nursing missions abroad
Native of Wayland Iowa, Lena Graber served 11 years overseas after joining Dr. Jonathon Yoder’s call in 1944. She led Dhamtari Hospital in India, founded its nursing school, then directed Nepal’s Shanta Bhaven Hospital nursing services and a Nepal nursing school, training many nurses and nurse-midwives amid Nepal’s growing medical needs. Now back in Elkhart, she plans rest but will stay active in aiding others.
