“The year 1909 marked an important era
in visiting nursing. In that year, at the suggestion
of the Settlement, the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company undertook the nursing of industrial
policy-holders, employing our nurses to care for these
patients. They, thereby, contributed an enormous impetus
to education in hygiene in the homes, and the treatment
of the sick, on the only basis that makes it possible
for the person of small means to receive nursing
without charity, namely through insurance.”
