Wald never married, instead focusing her life on “The Family” — the community of women reformers at Henry Street. Her legacy lives on through Visiting Nurse Service Health, which grew from her settlement work and remains one of the largest nonprofit home healthcare organizations in the U.S. /end
Wald was a founding member of the NAACP and insisted that all classes at Henry Street be racially integrated. In 1912, she was elected as the first president of the National Organization for Public Health Nursing. In 1918, she led the Nurses’ Emergency Council during the Spanish flu pandemic. /6
In 1902, Wald convinced the NYC Board of Education to hire the first public school nurse after demonstrating how it could reduce student absences. She also helped drive the creation of the U.S. Children’s Bureau in 1912 to improve infant health and protect children from labor exploitation. /5
Wald coined the term “public health nurse” in 1893 to describe nurses working outside hospitals to meet people where they lived in poor, immigrant communities. She believed nurses should treat the social, economic and environmental factors of illness, not just the physical ailments of the sick. /4
After witnessing a dying mother in a squalid tenement, Wald moved to the Lower East Side to provide direct community care. In 1893, she established the Henry Street Settlement to provide services such as nursing care, English lessons, vocational training and the city’s first municipal playground. /3
Wald was born into a wealthy German-Jewish family and raised in Rochester, N.Y. She enrolled in New York Hospital Training School for Nurses in 1889, inspired to pursue the profession by a nurse who cared for her sister. After she graduated in 1891, she worked at the New York Juvenile Asylum. /2

Lilian Wald was born on this day in 1867 in Cincinnati. She was a nurse and social reformer who pioneered the field of public health nursing. She also founded NYC’s Henry Street Settlement, which became a model for community healthcare and social services. /1

1/ We have a growing democracy problem hiding in plain sight: fake “public participation” flooding hearings and comment processes to manufacture opposition or support. It is astroturf, at scale, and it works because the penalty is basically zero. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
🚨 After launching a military operation against Iran, US has encountered mass attacks by Iranian drones. These drones are ruthlessly precise while also cheap to produce. In private, the WH acknowledges that Shaheds have proven to be a bigger threat than expected.

Of course The Felon tells Republicans to close their traps.
Another super unpopular mission of Trump’s.
Keep talking about his cruel immigration policy and always keep the Epstein Files leading every conversation.
We, The People, will take him down!

The inept Trump administration is on a spending spree with our tax dollars.
Mr Trump is blowing thru $3B a day for an unpopular WAR and Hegseth spent $93B in 2025 on furniture, steaks, and fruit alone.
And they want more‼️

Remember when I was droning on last April about the importance of ensuring MAGA aligned lawyers didn't gain control of the DC Bar? Here is why it was so important to thwart their efforts.We have to predict their nefarious plans to defeat these fascists. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
This should be a lesson to weak kneed Democrats to always take a principled stand when it comes to humanity and the right wing fascists always clamoring for violence and war will back down when they realize the people are not for more war. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
🚨 'Further concerns lie with the critical subsea cables that run under the Strait of Hormuz, the crucial trade artery that has been cut off by the war, and the Red Sea. These cables have previously been hit by sabotage in attacks blamed on Houthi rebels.'

If ordering the release of UFO files & starting a war with Iran isn't enough to distract us from the #EpsteinFiles, dude is ready to pull out the big guns.
