Public Health Nursing Program
The Public Health Nursing provides comprehensive preventive, curative, rehabilitative, and coordinates nursing services to the Indian beneficiaries residing in the Tuba City Service Unit communities.
These services are given to the homes, schools, and communities. The Public Health Nurses coordinate their services with medical and other professional personnel in hospitals and outlying health care facilities. They also coordinate services with other non-IHS resources, such as Tribal, State, Federal and private health services and programs.
Home visits are made to high risk patients such as teen mothers, newly diagnosed DM and GDM, acute and many chronic patients with multiple health problems. Education is given to individuals, groups, schools, and Service Unit communities. Referrals are received from the inpatient units, (Medical/Surgical, Pediatrics, OB, and Adult Care) OPD Peds, adults and from other outside facilities for follow-up.
