The Women's Sanitary Association was formed in 1891 to assist the Sanitary and General Improvement Association. Members of the Association visited working-class streets and advised the women living there on hygiene and the methods of nursing infectious diseases. In 1901, the Women's Sanitary Association became the Women's Health Association.
