Public Health
Nursing Background Information
The term Public
Health Nursing was coined more than 100 years ago with the goal of
providing community-based services to people in need. Public Health
Nurses often bridge the gap between institutions and communities by
taking education and direct services to the people. The first
Public Health Nurses provided services anywhere people in need could
be found including in their homes, workplaces, and schools. Today,
the mission continues and with new emerging issues, the role of
the Public Health Nurse is needed now more than ever.
The Allen County
Health Department Nursing Division provides several walk-in clinics
for the public.
