 Margaret Losty
New York City recently gathered some evidence pointing to this conclusion, when the maternal and newborn division of the city department of health joined with the Kings County Medical Society in inquiring into the preparation of nurses who had cared for the 55 premature infants who had died during a specified month.
The impression that there are not enough nurses with special preparation in the care of premature babies is strengthened by observations made in the hospitals of New York City by the city health department's hospital consultation service, whose purpose is to improve the hospital care given to mothers and newborn infants, including prematures.
An ideal plan would seem to be for the nurse and the pediatrician who are responsible for the care of the premature babies in a hospital to be taught jointly, along with the public-health nurse who visits the babies in their homes and helps the mothers to care for their babies.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Margaret Clitherow
She was a daughter of Thomas Middleton, Sheriff of York (1564-5), a wax-chandler; married John Clitherow, a wealthy butcher and a chamberlain of the city, in St. Martin's church, Coney St., 8 July, 1571, and lived in the Shambles, a street still unaltered.
Though her husband belonged to the Established Church, he had a brother a priest, and Margaret provided two chambers, one adjoining her house and a second in another part of the city, where she kept priests hidden and had Mass continually celebrated through the thick of the persecution.
Her indictment was that she had harboured priests, heard Mass, and the like; but she refused to plead, since the only witnesses against her would be her own little children and servants, whom she could not bear to involve in the guilt of her death.
