1 To the Officers and Trustees,
  Frontier Nursing Service, Incorporated,
  Lexington, Kentucky ·
9; Ladies and Gentlemen:
gi We have made a detailed examination of your records and
Q accounts for the fiscal year ended April 30th, 1945, with the
, results as disclosed by the annexed Exhibits and supporting
Q Schedules.
1 Endowment and Memorial Funds were certified to us by the
Q various Trustees therefor.
· Q Contributions and gifts, in cash, have been checked against
Q the Treasurer’s receipts and reports and traced into the bank.
Q Disbursements have been verified by means of canceled
Q checks and supporting vouchers, and the bank accounts have
  been reconciled and found correct.
Q In our opinion all monies have been duly and properly
  accounted for.
  An auditor’s comments should usually be confined to such
j observations as are necessary to properly explain the exhibits
1 .and schedules. However, as this is the twentieth consecutive
Q report we have made for the Frontier Nursing Service and its
i predecessor in name only, The Kentucky Committee for Mothers
1 and Babies, and as the current year is one of the most success-
Q ful the organization has experienced, we deem it not inappropri-
1 ate to call your attention briefly to the remarkable development .
` of the organization. ‘
Our first report covered the period from May 28, 1925, to
Q April 30, 1926, and showed the following facts:
li Revenue Receipts ...........,.........,........................ $9,712.00
‘ , _ Expenses Paid .._............,............,....................... 6,622.92
  Property Owned ............. - .......................,.......... 3,996.18 1
  Endowment ....._............ Q .................._................._. None
Q Q Money Borrowed .............._....,...................._....... 1,640.00
A Q The report for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1945, com-
; pares with the first year as follows: Q I
1   Revenue Receipts ................ $136,152.12 Increase 14 fold

In looking over the list of contributors on our first report, I
· we find the names of many persons who have made annual con- _  
tributions throughout the twenty years. It seems to your aud- I
itors that the mere fact that this group, associated with others, · I
has through the years contributed over two million dollars to I
enable the Director of the Frontier Nursing Service, through·· "
her intuitive knowledge and untiring zeal, to develop and bring p  
to full fruition her idea of a distinctive service to mankind, and p {
then has contributed over four hundred thousand dollars to I
perpetuate that service, constitutes a tribute that is reserved I
for very few, and an expression of faith that is extremely rare. I
That faith visualizes better minds in better bodies in the youth I I
of the land who now defend us in the mountain passes of the \
Alps; the atolls of the Paciiic; the jungles of many islands; and I-
wherever ships sail the seven seas; and the youth of the land  
who will follow to preserve the peace that is to come.

i ANNUAL REPORT
1 of the
` · FRONTIER NURSING SERVICE, Inc.
  May 1, 1944, to April 30, 1945
  j In May, 1945, we were twenty years old. We have lived to
see the boy babies we brought into the world follow their coun-
try’s fiag in war. We have watched our girl babies grow up into
womanhood, marry, and become mothers. We are caring for a
. second generation of motherhood and a second generation of
r I · children.
I From the tiny beginning in an old house long since pulled
° down, in a rugged country where travel was by horseback for
° I days in any direction, we have grown with the development of
I   our territory into so stable an organization that we could open
  a field of training to prepare workers for frontier service in nine
I   southern and western states, and in countries as far apart as
q Liberia and China. During the years in which the Frontier
j Nursing Service has been working and growing, among a people
I   who are working and growing too, we have been caught in the
pl mighty maelstrom of the great war. Without impairing the
{ quality of our work, but under conditions of almost indescribable
- » diiiiculty, we have given members of our staff for war service to
~ I every continent and many islands. We have kept our own field ‘
Q in operation by training new graduate nurses in our frontier
` technique and in midwifery, to replace those who had gone.
  This has meant a constant outgoing and incoming, and then
F outgoing again. That such a program has been possible of
g 1 attainment is due to the quality of the staff of the Service and
  their willingness to take work like ours in the spirit of war
  service.
  We now present the report of our twentieth fiscal year.

i INDEB·1*EDNEss
0 During the past fiscal year the Frontier Nursing Service
f was able to clear off the last $5,000.00 from a total of $50,000.00
  loaned by its Trustees during 1930-1932, to enable the Service
{ to tide over that difficult period. This was a very proper cele-
Ep bration of the completion of our twentieth year. We now have
  no general indebtedness whatever, but we still owe certain older
g, members of the old staff the sum of $14,312.42, representing the
  amount, on a two-thirds basis, of unpaid salaries, voluntarily
I] loaned the Service, during the same years of adjustment and
  reduction. A part of such endowment income as is unrestricted
  is devoted to lifting this indebtedness each year.
l REAL ESTATE, BUILDINGS, AND EQUIPMENT
l (From Exhibit C of the Audit)
l The Frontier Nursing Service owns realty, equipment, and
  { livestock conservatively estimated by our auditors, after adjust-
a ments in values have been written down or up, at $263,65280,

ig REPORT OF OPERATIONS
` MEDICAL AND SURGICAL
Two years ago the Frontier Nursing Service reported that
its Medical Director for the past twelve years, Dr. John H.
, Kooser, would be leaving us during the summer for the Navy
  and that we would have facing us the problem of Ending his
  successor. Dr. James M. Fraser took over in August, 1943.
  He is leaving us this August for a private practice where he can
, specialize in obstetrics. Thus, at the close of the fiscal year, we
T I again found ourselves facing the problem of locating a Medical
i ~ Director. It may be necessary to fill in on an interim basis with
Q I first one doctor and then another until there is a return to civil-
  = ian life of a considerable number of the physicians now in the
    Armed Forces. It may also be necessary to carry on for weeks

l
· at a time with no Medical Director. At no time have we been ‘
able to get any physician to relieve for Dr. Fraser’s vacations. '
It is possible for the Frontier Nursing Service to carry on
for a brief period of time without a Medical Director only be- ‘
cause Dr. R. L. Collins of Hazard and his assistant, Dr. C. S. 1
. Jackson, not only carry our major surgery in ordinary times, :1
but stand by to help us when we are without any doctor at all. .}
Dr. Collins gives emergency orders for injured and gun-shot I
and acutely ill patients and allows us to relay, in our station-
wagon-ambulance, such patients to his mining hospital at Haz- 1
ard. For complicated obstetrical cases taken into our own Hos- __
_ pital in Hyden, he comes over to us at any hour of the day or ll
night, in all weathers, and with no cost to us. Because of the rl
shortage of physicians in the mining areas around Hazard he A
and Dr. Jackson are burdened beyond words with their own E
practice, and their obligations to their mining patients. Even  
so, they never fail the Frontier Nursing Service, and only we {
know at what terrific cost to themselves.  
Dr. Francis Massie came up from Lexington in May, 1944,
for the surgical clinic he gives the Frontier Nursing Service each S
year. He performed 13 terribly needed operations. We want to I
add as a foot-note to the Annual Report, that he was with us  
1 again from May 16th to 19th, 1945, with his assistant, Dr. Todd, j
his anesthetist and two nurses. They, with the help of our own l
Medical Director and staff examined 116 patients and Dr. Massie . l
performed 18 operations. Dr. Massie calls these gift-visits to l
the Frontier Nursing Service a holiday! ‘ ?
We are grateful to Dr. H. H. Caffee of the Oneida Hospital {
for coming to our Hospital to do complicated and operative ob- 1
stetrics, and for his help on more than one occasion to the nurses \
at the Belle Barrett Hughitt Memorial Nursing Center at Brutus _
in Clay County.  
HYDEN HOSPITAL E
_ The Frontier Nursing Service Hospital at Hyden was occu-
pied 5,200 days last year by 549 patients with a daily average of
14.2 patients. Of these patients, 330 were adults, including 220
obstetrical patients, 66 were children and 153 were newborn.  
There were 14 deaths in the Hospital during the iiscal year, of

_l which eight were newborn and none were obstetrical. Fifty-
V seven operations were performed. At the Medical Director’s
clinics in the outpatient department of the Hospital there was a
total of 5,124 visits received during the past fiscal year.
I DISTRICTS ’ _
  In the 13 districts carried by the Frontier Nursing Service
,~, from the Hospital, Wendover, and 7 outpost centers, we attended
I 7,796 people in 1,663 families. Of these 4,385 were children,
including 2,010 babies and toddlers. The district nurses paid
I 17,648 visits and received 17,197 visits at their nursing centers
,_ and at their special clinics. Included in this figure are 5,124
  visits at the Medical Director’s clinic in Hyden. During the year
{ 152 field clinics were held with an attendance of 4,468 people.
Bedside nursing care was given to 522 sick people in their homes
  of whom 19 died. At the request of the State Board of Health,
3, the Frontier Nursing Service gave 6,946 inoculations and vac-
l cines against typhoid, diphtheria, smallpox, whooping cough,
l et cetera, and sent 1,723 specimens for analysis.
This part of our report has reference to general district
nursing only and does not include the midwifery carried day
} and night by the nurse-midwives along with their district nurs-
2 ing. The figures for midwifery are covered under the following
  section.
Q MIDWIFERY
Q Registered Cases
.   The nurse-midwives and the student midwives of the Fron-
i tier Graduate School of Midwifery (under supervision of their
5 instructors) delivered 362 women in childbirth, including 2 mis-
carriages, and gave them full prenatal and postpartum c
