ALASKA NURSE
OUT ON DEPT.
SCHOLARSHIP
Miss Grace Crosson. Episcopalian ,
Mission nurse in interior Alaska j
since 1944 is in Juneau enroute to j
her former home in New York—but j
just for vacation and school. Despite ;
spring floods that threatened to;
wash patients from their beds in
the small Ft. Yukon hospital and j
the often rugged day to day routine
of her duties, she is coming back
to continue her nursing work in
Alaska.
First she plans to take a year's
training in public health nursing
under the Alaska Department of
Health scholarship program f- r
nurses. Already a certified nurse
midwife, she is to be reassigned in
Alaska to a locality where her nurse •
mdwifery experience and public
health nursing training will be most
useful, according to Dorothy Whit
ney. director of the health depart
ment’s nursing division.
Miss Crosson plans to complete
work for her Master’s decree in
addition to her public health nurs
ing training at the University of
Washington Nursing School. She re
ceived her B.S. degree from Colum
bia University and her midwifery
training at the Lobestine Maternity
Center in New York.
During her nearly seven years as
a nurse in the Episcopal Missionary
District *of Alaska, she has been
stationed at Ft. Yukon, at Allakaket,
and most recently at Eagle where
her father, Lawrence A. Crosson, is
lay reader at St. Paul's Mission.
She told of the spring breakup in
1945 when the flooding Yukon river
waters came into the first floor of
the Hudson Stuck Memorial hos
pital at Ft. Yukon.
Mattresses were stripped from
under patients and carried to the
staff's quarters on the second floor
to be followed by the moving of the
patients themselves. Complicating
the matter of fitting 27 patients into
small space was the fact that among
them were active tuberculosis cases
which must remain segregated from
the other ill folk, Miss Crosson ex
plained.
Also arriving with the flood waters
over the door sill, was an expectant
mother transported in haste, and
just in time, via motor boat to the
very door of the flooded hospital.
Since its delivery room was under
water, the nurse-midwife said home
delivery procedure was followed,
converting equipment from what
w'as available.
Meanwhile, news of the Ft. Yukon
flood had spread and the husband
of another expectant mother in the
hospital from another village flew
to the hospital to see if his wife
should be evacuated. Coming in a
float plane, he was able to land the
ship on the airfield, deep in flood.
“And evacuated to a little hill
were several families with 29 child
ren and no diapers," Miss Crosson
continued, adding that supplies in
cluding the necessary diapers were
airdropped to them. Air Force Res
cue squadron pilots kept a close
check on events, she said, even to
searching for the expectant mother
before they learned she had already
arrived by motor boat.
Typhoid immunizations were an
other part of the staff’s busy pro
gram. And then as the flood receded
came the cleanup work it left.
Chunks of ice from the breakup
waters were left behind in the hos
pital's little solarium. Silt and sand
damaged the heating and water
facilities, and deposited several
inches deep on the first floor.
Before another breakup came,
Miss Crosson said, motors and other
equipment were slung w’ith chains
so that they could be hoisted above
the water. The native Alaskans, she
pointed out, knew the river’s habits
well and were prepared for the
floods: with necessary equipment
and property in their boats, they
moved to higher ground before the
waters came.
