Sir Wilfred Thomason GrenfellSir Wilfred Thomason Grenfell

The purpose of this world is not to have and hold, but to serve - Wilfred T. Grenfell

(February 28, 1865-October 9, 1940) was a medical missionary to Newfoundland and Labrador. The Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen sent Grenfell to Indian Harbour, Labrador in 1892 to improve the plight of coastal inhabitants and fishermen.

That mission began in earnest in 1893, when he recruited two nurses and two doctors for hospitals at Indian Harbour, Newfoundland. Grenfell later opened cottage hospitals along the coast of Labrador. The mission expanded greatly from its initial mandate, to one of developing schools, an orphanage, cooperatives, industrial work projects, and social work.

For his years of service, on behalf of the people of these communities, Wilfred Grenfell was later knighted by King George V ...  By 1914 the mission had gained international status.
