Description

The Newfoundland Outport Nursing and Industrial Association (NONIA) was incorporated as a non-profit business in 1924 after being founded in 1920. It was established to assist Newfoundland outport communities to access health services, by raising money from the sale of hand-knit garments to pay the salaries of public health nurses who served these outlying communities.Health care has been provided by the government since 1934, but NONIA still provides an outlet for the island's producers of fine hand woven and knitted goods and other crafts on a non-profit basis. 89p. illus bibligraphy [ [WorldCat lists 8 copies]
