Public Health Nursing

Public health nurses care for total population. By working with total community nurses, they are able to teach people about health issues, improve community health and safety and increase access to care. They believe a person's health is affected by factors such as genetic makeup, lifestyle and environment. Nurses go into communities to help people improve their health and prevent disease. Public health nurses also provide direct health care services, preventive care, screening services and health education.
