On the occasion of the 100th anniversary celebration of the Community Service Society (CSS) of New York, Ruth Weaver Hubbard, president of the National Organization for Public Health Nursing, addressed the audience with a talk about "Nursing for Health in Tomorrow's Family." The full text of her speech was printed in the original Public Health Nursing in June 1948. This article presents excerpts of her forecast of the future of the American family and the role of the nurse in helping to achieve health. Predictions from the past provide an unusual historical perspective, one of peering into a future now some 50 years past. The fabric of life in the United States has changed dramatically since 1948, but Hubbard's opinion that nursing is integral to a team approach to helping individuals and communities address their own needs was articulated with profound conviction.
在纽约社区服务协会（CSS）成立100周年庆典之际，美国公共卫生护理组织主席露丝·韦弗·哈伯德发表了题为“明日家庭中的健康护理”的演讲。她演讲的全文于1948年6月发表在《公共卫生护理》（原版）上。本文摘录了她对美国家庭未来的预测以及护士在促进健康方面所扮演的角色。过去的预测提供了一个独特的历史视角，就像窥视距今约50年前的未来。自1948年以来，美国的生活结构发生了巨大变化，但哈伯德坚信护理对于帮助个人和社区满足自身需求的团队方法至关重要。
