History |
| |
|
Barton Medical Corporation is named
for Clara Harlowe Barton (1821-1912). Miss Barton was
born on December 25, 1821, in North Oxford,
Massachusetts. In her long career of public service Miss
Barton was successively a teacher, a battlefield nurse,
a lecturer and finally, organizer and president of the
American Red Cross. |
| |
|
During the American Civil War Miss
Barton was a battlefield nurse. She delivered medical
supplies and food, staying with the wounded until they
were carried to safety. She was called the “Angel of the
Battlefield.” |
| |
|
|
|
| Miss Barton volunteered for the International Red
Cross (IRC) |
|
while on a trip to Europe in 1870. She helped
refugees of the Franco-Prussian War in Paris and other cities. She
returned to America in 1873, and in 1877, IRC authorities invited
her to establish an American Red Cross. For the next 26 years, Miss
Barton organized and led the Red Cross, personally leading many
relief expeditions to victims of forest fire, flood, hurricane and
war. |
| |
|
The mission of Miss Barton's, and indeed the
mission of the firm which today bears her name, is best summed up in
her words: “You must never so much as think whether you like it or
not, whether it is bearable or not; you must never think of anything
except the need and how to meet it.” |
