Collaborating to develop a community-based health service for rural homeless persons.
In the current healthcare environment, public health nursing administrators are called on to create and manage programs and services while reducing cost and improving access. Public health science provides a framework on which to base program planning and management. Using this approach, the authors describe the establishment of a health services center to meet an identified gap in service to homeless persons in a rural area.
