Amazing photos & article on Florence Berry - Occ Health RN in the 1920's and past president

Posted over 5 years ago by Nancy Clover

Read a fascinating account of Florence Berry an occupational health nurse with the Pro Brush company back in the 1920s.

Florence served the New England INA as both Treasurer and President in the early 1920s while she was employed at the 'Brush Shop' in Western, MA. 

This link takes you to a lengthy article about Florence including many photos which I was especially delighted to see as there is so little photographed material available from that time. After leaving her Industrial Health job she became a leading figure in the Worthington Health Center for many years.
