As Chief Nurse of the first and most significant psychiatric hospital to be near the front lines in a war,〔 she (and the nurses she supervised) treated soldiers with shell-shock (now called post-traumatic stress disorder) and "war neurosis".
Poston founded the first Psychiatric Nurses Bureau in New York City〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Herbert Hoover Rare Presidential Historical Artifact )〕 and led the Adele Poston Agency of New York City until her retirement in her 80s.〔

Poston's great-great-great-grandmother was Mary Thornton, an aunt of George Washington; her great-great-great-grandfather was Brigadier General William Woodford,〔ancestry.com.〕 who fought in the Revolutionary War. Through this connection, Poston was able to obtain membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution.〔The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Volume 55, p. 299.〕 Her parents had two children before she was born, Edwin and Mary Elizabeth (who died as an infant). Her mother, Mary Kate Elmore Poston, died when Adele was nine years old. In 1904, Poston applied to and was accepted by the Passavant Memorial Area Hospital School of Nursing in Jacksonville, Illinois. She graduated in 1906, at the age of 22.〔Passavant Memorial Area Nursing School, Jacksonville, Illinois.〕
In 1941, Poston married actor Erskine Sanford,〔Marriage License, November 4, 1941 County of Coconino, Flagstaff, Arizona (Houston Family Archives).〕 but the marriage lasted only a short time. A first cousin once removed, Ellen Kerr Houston, her husband Raymond Woodard Houston (a social worker who rose to be Commissioner of Social Welfare for the State of New York),〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Fete to Aid Youth of South on Dec. 12; Women's Educational Alliance to Celebrate 10th Anniversary With Reception and Dance )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Ellen Kerried to R.
