Partnerships in Community Health

Analyzes, applies, and evaluates nursing and other healthcare activities of local, national, and global communities, including health promotion, disease prevention, public health, and social justice efforts. Explores influencing socio-cultural, epidemiological, economic, and political issues. Formulates community level diagnoses and interventions to promote and maintain population self care.

Class description

This course will prepare students already familiar with nursing care issues and processes to think about the health and nursing of populations. The specific population with which we will be working is the mothers and infants residing in Skagit County, and the providers who offer services to them. We will work with providers on projects they have identified to help their health care delivery. These projects vary each quarter. Students are encouraged to be creative and interactive with Skagit County health professionals.
