The first part describes the history of the settlement and the challenges faced by its founders in establishing it. The second part focuses on the healthcare services provided by the settlement, including nursing care and health education. The third part describes the settlement's social work programs, including housing assistance, job training, and child welfare.Throughout the book, Wald emphasizes the importance of providing compassionate and culturally sensitive care to the community members served by the settlement. She also discusses the social and political issues that impact the lives of the people she worked with, including poverty, immigration, and labor rights.The House On Henry Street is considered a classic in the fields of nursing and social work, and is still widely read and studied today.
