The first Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) in the region was formed in Peterborough in September, 1907. The aim of the VNA was "to provide a skilled trained nurse by the hour. The position requires a woman of larger resources and more ability than the usual city nurse." The first nurses usually walked to see their patients. The annual report of the group in 1911 listed 444 visits in the town.
