Artifact Overview

Mary Breckinridge, the daughter of a prominent Southern family, established the Frontier Nursing Service (FNS) in 1925. Breckinridge initially backed the enterprise with her own money, but soon cultivated wealthy individuals, including Clara Ford and her son Edsel, to help support the FNS. Through her philanthropic efforts, Breckinridge brought qualified nurse-midwives and modern, life-saving healthcare to many inaccessible areas of eastern Kentucky.
