Visiting Nurse Program
available on base
The Navy Relief sponsored Visit-
ing Nurse Program available In Kef-
lavik allows home visits to help
make things a little easier for ail-
ing Navy and Marine Corps family
members and to help new mothers
learn how to care for their babies.
The Visiting Nurses do not work
for the Base hospital but liasion
is very close. At the request of
the doctors, they make follow up
visits to see how recently discharg-
ed patients are getting along.
Their busy schedule precludes ac-
tual bedside nursing but they will
show members of the family or
friends simple techniques for making
a bedridden person more comfortable.
The biggest part of the Visiting
Nurses day is taken up with checking
on the well being of new-born in-
fants and sharing the tricks of baby
care with first-time mothers.
The Navy Relief Society wishes to
recognize these volunteers for their
outstanding community concern. If
you or a member of your family needs
such assistance or more information
on the program, please call the of-
fice at 4602 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.,
Monday through Friday.
This service is funded by the
Navy Relief Society and is free of
charge for those who need it.
