The Frontier Nursing University began as the Frontier Nursing Service. Mary Breckinridge, the founder of the service, taught nurses in the trade of midwifery, resulting in the significant improvement of health for new mothers and a huge reduction of infant mortality.

The picture showing when Frontier Nursing Service (FNS) was established needs to let people know where FNS was established. It looks like it was established in Versailles, KY, it was not. It was established in Hyden ,KY for the health needs of the the people (Primarily pregnant women of Southeast Kentucky) by Mary Breckenridge in 1839. Not a fan of taking this out of Southeast Kentucky!
