Khi chiến sự kiến thúc vào 1856, cô dành 4 năm trợ giúp chính phủ trong việc tìm kiếm những người lính mất tính trong chiến tranh.
Công cuộc tìm kiếm những người lính mất tích và những năm tháng làm việc đầy gian lao khiến cô dần suy nhược cơ thể. Vào năm 1869, bác sỹ của cô khuyên cô nên đến Châu Âu nghỉ ngơi. Khi đang ở trong kì nghỉ, cô biết đến với Hội Chữ Thập đỏ Toàn cầu, một tổ chức được thành lập bởi Hiệp định Giơ-ne-vơ vào 1864. Clara Barton nhận ra hội chữ thập đỏ sẽ là một sự cứu trợ lớn cho Mỹ.

Vào năm 1881, Trung ương Hội chữ Thập đỏ được thành lập và đặt trụ sở ở Washington, D.C. Clara Barton đã quản lý công việc của hội trong 23 năm.
Barton không bao giờ để tuổi tác cản trở cô giúp đỡ mọi người. Ở tuổi 79, cô giúp những nạn nhân lũ lụt ở Galveston, Texas. Barton cuối cùng đã từ chức ở Hội chữ Thập đỏ vào năm 1904. Cô ấy đã 92 tuổi và thật sự giành được danh hiệu “Thiên sứ của Chiến trường”.
