"A Tribute To The Red Cross Nurses who Pioneered Health Care in the Wilberforce Area"

Description from Highlands East Arts and Culture: (visit link)

"Representing the nurses who served at the Wilberforce Outpost, which was the first Red Cross Outpost Hospital in Ontario and was declared a National Historic Site of Canada in 2003.

The sculpture depicts a nurse walking with her head held high looking forward with one arm back leading a child. When you are looking at the sculpture you will notice that the right side is crumbled stone; and if you look closely you will see that it is a shoulder with an arm hanging down, and at its side a medical bag, thus representing the doctor that was never really at the Wilberforce Outpost but could always be called upon in times of need."
