Mona Gordon Wilson

Après avoir travaillé outre-mer pour la Croix-Rouge américaine, Wilson dirigea la Division des soins infirmiers en santé publique de l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard, supervisant son évolution d’un service de la Croix-Rouge canadienne en un ministère provincial de la santé. De 1923 à 1961, elle œuvra à améliorer la santé des insulaires, ajoutant vaccination, hygiène dentaire et soins aux tuberculeux à l’éventail des services infirmiers. Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Wilson fut détachée auprès de la Croix-Rouge à Terre-Neuve, où elle organisa l’aide au personnel militaire et aux naufragés de la bataille de l’Atlantique.
