    Historique

    The Division of Maternal and Child Hygiene and Public Health Nursing was created in 1920 within the Ontario Provincial Board of Health. The newly created Department of Health took over responsibility for the division in 1924.

    In 1925, changes to the Public School Act transferred school health activities, that had been performed by the Department of Education's Division of School Hygiene, to the Department of Health. Dr. John T. Phair, who had been the Department of Education's Chief School Medical Officer, was transferred to Health to head the Maternal and Child Health Branch. In 1931, Edna Moore was appointed Chief Public Health Nurse for the province and was given responsibility for the organization and direction of the provincial public health nurses.

    The Division of Maternal and Child Hygiene and Public Health Nursing ceased to exist on April 1, 1944 when it was divided into a new Division of Maternal and Child Hygiene (to become the Maternal and Child Health Branch) and the Divison of Public Health Nursing (to become the Public Health Nursing Branch).
