TAMWORTH — For 100 years, the nurses of the Tamworth Community Nurse Association have been taking care of people, treating anyone seeking their care in town.

The association was started when 34-year-old Elizabeth Lane Whittemore, along with Lucy Balch and other summer residents, hired Flora G. Ernest and later Grace Upton “to act as visiting nurses under the guidance of several ladies of Chocorua Village.”
