Scope and content
The Pierce County Nursing Home Association and their guests at their annual dinner held in October, 1953, at the Tacoma Woman's Club House. Nursing Home Associations from neighboring counties were honored at the dinner. Speakers were State Senator Reuben Koblauch, County Commissioner Harry Sprinkler, Attorney for the Association Edmund F. Jacobs, Mrs. Margaret Williamson of the County Hospital staff and Mrs. Alice Westbo, president of the Washington Association of Licensed Nursing Homes. The topics discussed were how nursing homes across the state were striving for safer and improved conditions under the State Department of Health's regulation. A major stumbling block was that a large number of nursing homes were unlicensed and exempt from health regulations. See article for a list of banquet attendees. The Pierce County Association was located at 723 2nd St. N.W., Puyallup. (TNT 11/1/1953, pg. A-7)
