Canadian Public Health Nurse Receives Well-Deserved Recognition
--------------------------------------------------------
The Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) and the Canadian Public Health Association
(CPHA) applaud the selection of an outstanding Canadian nurse as the recipient of
the International Council of Nurses' (ICN) first International Achievement Award.
The honour bestowed upon Margaret Hilson is the result of a selection process that
considered nominations from around the world.

Margaret Hilson, current Director of International Programs with CPHA, has a long
and distinguished career as a leader in the development and management of strategies
to influence public health internationally and in Canada.  A public health nurse
with a Masters degree in Environmental studies, Ms. Hilson's career began in
community development with CUSO in Asia and Central America.  She joined CPHA in
1985.  According to CPHA's Chief Executive Officer, Gerald H. Dafoe, "Ms. Hilson is
responsible for creating and shaping CPHA's core international activity.  The
program she has developed has provided technical and financial assistance to
national public health associations in over 22 countries around the world.  Ms.
Hilson has also been at the heart of the development of CPHA's international efforts
in the areas of HIV/AIDS, reproductive health, environmental health and the fight
against tobacco products.

For CNA President Lynda Kushnir Pekrul, the selection of Margaret Hilson by the
International Congress of Nurses is a personal tribute to her contributions to
public health promotion and testimony to the fact that Canadian registered nurses
working in Canada and abroad are leaders in their fields.  "The career potential of
nurses today knows no boundaries, geographical or otherwise," says the Saskatchewan-
based Kushnir Pekrul.

Margaret Hilson will be presented with her award on June 29, 1999 in London, England
as part of ICN's centennial celebrations.

The Canadian Nurses Association is the professional voice of nursing in Canada.  It
is the federation of 11 provincial/territorial nursing associations representing
over 110,000 registered nurses.
