Clara Barton: A Healthcare Hero
My healthcare hero that I’m researching is Clara Barton. She is the person who found the American Red cross. During the civil war she served as a volunteer to provide aid to wounded soldiers. She also requested supplies from the public and then after she got the supplies she personally delivered them to the soldiers on the north and the south.
Treaty of Geneva In 1869 she went to Geneva, Switzerland to rest and improve her health. There she learned about the treaty of Geneva which provided relief for the sick and wounded soldiers. A dozen nations signed the treaty except for the United States. She also learned about the international Red cross which provided disaster relief during war and peace.
Red Cross
When she returned to the united
states she campaigned for the Treaty of Geneva until it was ratified. In 1881 the Red Cross was formed! She was the first president of the Red cross until 1904 she represented the Red cross by traveling all around the united states helping victims of natural disasters and war. http://www.redcross.org/about-us/who-we-are/history/clara-barton
Affected lives
The Red Cross helps us in our time of natural disasters the Red Cross is always there for us when something bad happens. No other hospital sends you help you have to go to them when you need help! The Red Cross goes to where they are most needed to attend you to feed you.
No Red Cross
If there was no Red Cross who would help us in our time of natural disasters the Red Cross is always there for us when something bad happens. No other hospital sends you help you have to go to them when you need help! The Red Cross goes to where they are most needed to attend you to feed you. This discovery has affected people's lives by helping them in their time in need. During terrible times and at good times. Life without the Red Cross would be a disaster people’s lives would be in danger when there would be war and on one to help. Also some people wouldn’t have even been here because the people Clara Barton saved from the Red cross could have been some of our ancestors and if our ancestors would have died we wouldn’t even had been here.
