Nurses | Jewish Historical Society

Nurses play a vital role in the health of the community, especially during these pandemic times. We appreciate all the sacrifices made by these heroes and are thankful for their dedication. These heroes have inspired us to look back into our archives to find pictures of our nurse heroes of the past. Here are a few selected samples.
