The design revolved around a central hospital and one physician with many nursing outposts designed to compensate for the lack of reliable roads and transportation. The service featured nurses on horseback able to reach remote areas in all kinds of weather. In five years the FNS reached more than 1,000 rural families in an area of over 700 square miles and staff members formed an organization that became the American Association of Nurse-Midwives. Another part of FNS, the Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing has trained hundreds of midwives. The original hospital, now the Mary Breckinridge Hospital, still fulfills its mission today.
