How and when did the organization get started?

Through the vision of Catherine Nelson Black, wife of Samuel Black, a judge and mayor of the City of Columbus, we became Ohio’s first home healthcare program, in 1898 to bring medical care and health education to the homes of the sick poor and immigrant populations – those with high infant mortality rates. Mrs. Black noted that she wanted to establish an organization that would “take care of the people who nobody else paid any attention to”. We still take care of those individuals today.
