MISS AHEARN OF BROCKTON CHOSEN
FOR DISTRICT NURSE
——— |
A meeting of the Civics Committee of the Marlboro Woman's club
was held on Friday at the home of the chairman, Mrs. W. A. Allen, with the president, Mrs. Carl Stevens,
in attendance, to elect a district nurse. Miss Mary Ahern of Brockton was the unanimous choice of the
committee. Miss Ahern is a graduate of the training school for nurses connected with St. Vincent's
hospital of Worcester and comes with the best recommendations of the matron of that institution as well as
Dr. Fallon of Worcester, under whom she has worked. She has recently been engaged as district nurse for
the Brockton District Nurse Association.
Miss Ahern will be on duty Dec. 1, until which time Miss Howe will be in charge.
Miss Howe leaves the work of the Marlboro Woman's club to go to a larger field
of labor in Springfield, and she bears with her the best wishes of the committee for success in her new position.
It is hoped that the friends of district nursing in Marlboro will accord to the new nurse
the same help and encouragement which ha[s] been given in the past and made this splendid work of the
Marlboro Woman's club possible. |
