Our History
Ninety-two years ago, five federated women’s clubs joined forces to fund the Bangor Health Committee and hired Edith Bicknell to achieve five public health goals: pure food, clean milk, the diminution of filth, the health of public schoolchildren, and the free and ready availability of TB tests. Edith traveled by foot, horse and buggy, and trolley to tend to those sick at home. Edith had grit, tenacity, and compassion.
Our Present
From our humble yet proud beginnings in 1913 as the Bangor Health Committee, Bangor Area Visiting Nurses has grown to a staff of 40 including nurses, home health aides, therapists and social workers - serving healthcare needs in our region. We're still on Edith's mission.
Our Future
As the delivery of healthcare moves from the hospital to home setting, the need for qualified care at home has increased. It’s where we most want to be when we’re sick. Visiting Nurses will be there. It's what we do best - it's our mission!
