    "ocrText": "INTRA\nBAN\n(1) As chairman of Nursing Care programs, Mrs. Wallace coordinated a\nhighly successful Mother and Baby Care course. After recruiting professional\nassistance, she traveled to Misawa Air Base to attend a qualifying course for\nm\ninstructors. She then adapted an enriched curriculum to the needs of the\nfamilies on Wakkanai Air Station, utilizing many military and community\nfacilities such as the legal office, physician, and military nurses. Mrs.\nWallace spent many hours developing a team teaching approach with the other\nMother and Baby Care instructor and taught at each class. During the six\nweek session, Mrs. Wallace identified the need for additional assistance for\nthe Japanese mother, and therefore recruited a Japanese medical interpretor\nand held separate classes for these mothers. Mrs. Wallace's interest did\nnot stop in the classroom. She made several home visits to assist new\nparents with problems that arose in the home environment after the arrival\nof the baby. There was such a positive response to the classes that many\nfamilies were most anxious to attend the next session of classes which is\npresently being planned.\nIn addition, Mrs. Wallace was the coordinator of the Mother's Aide\nCourse. After recruiting two dependent wives to be the instructors, she\nassisted these women in the development and implementation of a pertinent,\ninteresting group of classes for 70 of our base youth. Utilizing a tele-\nvision and radio publicity program after the youth had satisfactorily\ncompleted the designated requirements, Mrs. Wallace provided many families\nwith confidence and knowledge in young mothers' aides.\n(2) For the past year, two days per week, Mrs. Wallace has enthusi-\nastically functioned as a hospital assistant. She identified a role which\nshe felt would be most helpful to hospital and community, and participated\nin many different patient care activities as listed in Attachment 2. She\ntherefore provided freedom to the military nurses in order that they might\nbe able to do other office activities or whatever might be necessary. Whihe\nin the hospital and in the community, Mrs. Wallace constantly provides\nvaluable health education to base personnel and encourages everyone to seek\nmedical attention whenever necessary. When Mrs. Wallace becomes aware of\nillness in a home, she usually calls the family to inquire if she can\nprovide any assistance. Many times these calls are followed up by a visit\nin the home. She has an outstanding awareness of the needs for health\neducation in the community and in the home.\n(3) Wakkanai Air Station is without a fulltime school health nurse.\nWhen it became obvious that dependent wives would have to fill the position,\nMrs. Wallace was a first volunteer. One day each week she provides emer-\ngency first aid, health education and communication between student, school,\nand family.\n(4) Mrs. Wallace is coordinator of the four volunteer caseworkers at\nWakkanai Air Station. By setting a fine example and conducting discussion\nsessions, she has directed an excellent orientation program and instilled\nconfidence in the caseworkers. She has acquired a centrally located office\n2"
