In 1909, Henry Street nurses began providing health visits to the policyholders of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, who were mostly working-class immigrants. The nurses were so successful in improving clients’ health that MetLife established its own visiting nurse service modeled on Henry Street. This edition commemorates the life of Lilian Wald, founder of the Henry Street Settlement.
