AboutAbout the lab
Improving everyone's health through data-driven preventive care
The Community Health Nursing Lab studies ways to improve the health and quality of life (QOL) of people living in the community and people receiving care at home.
The lab supports not only individuals and families but also the whole community, treating it as a single unit.
The lab works on building community care systems that allow older adults and people with disabilities to keep living in the communities they are familiar with, and on supporting the healthy development of children.
In the master's program's Public Health Nurse Education Course, the lab trains public health nurses, who play a central role in building healthy communities.
