Public Health Nurses help connect Yellowhawk's Primary Care Team with patients at home and throughout the community. Through education, follow-up care, immunizations, medication support, and communicable disease prevention, PHNs help patients manage their health and stay connected to ongoing care.
Public Health Nurses act as a connection between the Primary Care Team and patients at home. Home visits may be part of a care plan, providing education and follow-up support after a hospital stay, illness, or while managing a chronic disease. PHNs work with patients to support their health and help ensure ongoing care.
