EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a poignant moment in the children's ward at Provident Hospital in Chicago, Illinois, back in 1942. The image showcases an unidentified African-American nurse dedicatedly serving lunch to a young patient lying on a hospital bed. During this era, racial segregation was prevalent across America, making Provident Hospital truly remarkable as one of the few medical institutions with an entirely African-American staff. This powerful visual testimony by photographer Jack Delano serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination of African-Americans who overcame immense challenges to provide healthcare services within their own community. The nurse's uniform exudes professionalism and compassion while she attentively tends to her patient's needs. Her presence radiates sympathy and care for those under her watchful eye. It is evident that she embodies the spirit of service that defines nursing as a profession. Delano's skillful composition captures not only the intimate interaction between nurse and patient but also provides insight into the early days of healthcare facilities catering specifically to African-Americans during a time when equality was far from being realized. This historical photograph stands as testament to both progress made and obstacles overcome in achieving equal access to quality healthcare for all Americans, regardless of race or background.
