Battlefield nurse Clara Barton founded which institute as a result of the Civil War, which is still going strong today?

Did you know the American Red Cross is a remnant of the Civil War? Nurse Clara Barton was caring for the wounded in Washington, D.C. when she discovered they were not aptly supplied to address soldiers' battle wounds. She found a way to organize supplies to reach the frontlines, where they were most needed. In fact, she often traveled to the battlefields to deliver them herself, nursing wounded soldiers back to health, resulting in her nickname, "Angel of the Battlefield". Later, she adapted an international organization, called the International Red Cross, to her home country by lobbying for four years, finally founding the American Red Cross in May of 1881.
