Welcome to Dimensions in Community Health!

This website is dedicated to all those intersted in promoting health, particularly students of the health professions, practicing nurses, and nurse educators. It is meant to serve as a resource for building knowledge, understanding, and potential empowerment in our communities.

Tribute to Community Nurses

For more than 115 years nurses in the United States have been welcomed into the homes and neighborhoods of people in need of knowledge about health, how to achieve and how to maintain it.  Community Health Nurses have flexibly adapted to their uncertain work environments in order to continue to serve individuals, families, and communities with education, treatment, prevention strategies, and self-care initiatives. They have met workforce shortages with persistence and acceptance of contingent strategies throughout their history: during epidemics, wars, economic crises, and dramatic population growth. 

To embark on a journey of appreciation for nurses in the community and the origins of the nursing profession, you may chart your own course with this starter (biblio) to help you
