Reform can be accomplished only when attitudes are changed.

Human interest and passion for human progress break down
barriers centuries old.

The task of organizing human happiness needs the active cooperation
of man and woman: it cannot be relegated to one half of the world.

Nursing is love in action…

– Lillian D. Wald (1867–1940) First American Public Health Nurse,
Founder of Modern-Day Visiting Nurses, Humanitarian, Activist, Teacher and Author
