Jane Delano, Founder of the American Red Cross Nursing Service

Jane Arminda Delano (1862-1919) was a nurse and founder of the American Red Cross Nursing Service. A leading pioneer of the modern nursing profession, Delano almost single-handedly created American Red Cross Nursing when she united the work of the American Nurses Association, the Army Nurse Corps, and the American Red Cross. Through her efforts, emergency response teams were organized for disaster relief and over 8,000 registered nurses were trained and ready for duty by the time the United States entered World War I. During the course of the War, more than 20,000 of her nurses played vital roles with the United States military. She was posthumously awarded the Distinguished Service Medal.
