This article concerns the history of the establishment of Parish Nursing in post-war socialist Poland in the 1960s. Parish Nursing was founded in Krakow, Poland by Hanna Chrzanowska (1902-1973), a pioneering, charismatic Polish nurse; a dedicated nurse leader, activ-ist and community nursing teacher. The article elaborates on the social context within which Parish Nursing was established and flour-ished and on Hanna Chrzanowska’s unique contribution to this form of holistic community care.
