Community
Health care extends beyond the traditional model of brick-and-mortar facilities. Outreach efforts, health education classes and in-home patient visits serve key roles in establishing and sustaining a healthy community. Nurses help implement a multi-faceted, interdisciplinary approach to preventive health.
