title: Carrying on the legacy of Lillian Wald. Partnership with the Henry Street Settlement and the Lienhard School of Nursing at Pace University.
abstract: The Lienhard School of Nursing (LSN) at Pace University and the Henry Street Settlement (HSS) developed a partnership to bring nursing back to the HSS founded by nursing leader, Lillian Wald. Through this partnership HSS and LSN faculty and students explored how they could accomplish the goal of providing nursing care to a diverse urban population. Struggles to understand the community and the role of nursing in this kind of setting provided students with unique and complex community and leadership experiences. Students learned not only from the nursing care they provided but also from the behaviors of the stakeholders in the partnership. The partnership has provided an ongoing opportunity for continuing the legacy of Lillian Wald.
