For more than a century, this national organization has provided vital home nursing and health education to Canadians. Founded in 1897 by Lady Aberdeen, the Order developed innovative programs to improve the health of mothers and children, particularly among the poor and the isolated. It established the first Canadian training homes for public health nurses, set a national standard for visiting nurse services, and later expanded its work to meet the needs of the elderly and the chronically ill. Through advocacy and by example, the VON helped lead the way to broader public health care programs.
Inscription sur la plaque:
Fondé en 1897 par Lady Aberdeen, cet organisme national a fourni aux Canadiens des soins à domicile tout en les éduquant en matière de santé. Grâce à ses programmes novateurs, il a amélioré la santé des mères et des enfants, surtout dans les milieux pauvres et isolés. On lui doit également la création des premiers centres de formation d'infirmières en santé publique et l'établissement de normes nationales de soins à domicile. Au fil des ans, l'Ordre élargit son action auprès des aînés et des malades chroniques. Par son engagement, il a ouvert la voie à la création de programmes de soins de santé pour tous.
