Abstract

Margaret Mary Hunter (1918-1991) was Chief Nursing Officer for the St.John Ambulance Association from 1965-1981. She vigorously promoted the Association's Home Nursing course believing every Canadian household should have some one trained in home nursing. Her greatest achievement came in 1976 when, at her initiative, the Department of National Health and Welfare awarded 1,000,000 dollars jointly to the Association and the Canadian Red Cross Society to develop the multi-media program "There' s No Place Like Home for Health Care". Unfortunately this award-winning instructional program was never widely implemented and, following her retirement, home health care training in the Association declined in importance. Margaret Hunter's efforts to effect change illuminate the complex challenges facing nursing leaders of all generations.
