Winnie Shandro fonds

  • PAA aarn-2226
  • Fonds
  • 1934-1984

Mrs Winnie Shandro describes her career in public health nursing, not in chronological order, but in the order that her lively memory decided. She describes the professional relationships between doctors and nurses and the bad behaviour of some doctors towards nurses. One of their first tasks at the East Central Health Unit was to restore discipline to both professions and to improve relations between the public health service and the local hospital. Her main focus is on the health services she offered to the Indian Reserves and the Métis settlements and to Native patients in the Yukon and in northern Alberta. She had good relations with, and respect for, the military medical crews in the Yukon and CFB Cold Lake, Alberta. Mrs Shandro's career covered over 50 years of nursing service.

Shandro, Winnifred (Winnie), 1914-
