NURS4465 Population and Community Nursing

Module 5 Discussion

In this Discussion, you will select a clinic or community agency within the community. The organization you select must serve the needs of a vulnerable population group. Research the clinic or agency to obtain a clear idea of services provided and the specific population it serves. It is not necessary for you to make an on-site visit.

Shelters: Homeless, Women’s, etc.         HIV/AIDS programs/clinics

Veterans’ agencies         Adolescent Programs

Name of agency and why you selected this agency;

Brief history and mission of the agency;

Target population the agency serves;

Services and programs offered;

What criteria (i.e. income, age, etc.) must clients meet in order to be served by the agency; and
