title: Lydia Holman: community health pioneer.
abstract: Trained and inspired by the Henry Street Settlement, this Pennsylvania-born nurse made the health of the people of remote Mitchell County, North Carolina, her life's work. Her courage and persistence attracted the attention of the national press and President Hoover, yet today she is all but forgotten.
