World traveler Doris Bloch lost her heart to East Africa before she even met San Francisco, where her public health nursing career began. From malnutrition in Tanganyika and Marin County, her love of people, and a keen, penetrating mind combined to move her through a PhD degree. She worked with the World Health Organization in Manilla, before returning to Washington, DC to advance nursing through research. Doris served as Chief of Research Support Section of the Nursing Research Branch of the Division of Nursing for the U.S. Public Health Service.
