| The
Society
has
a
Visiting
Nurse
Program.
This
program
is
comprised
of
both
volunteer
and
paid
staff
who
are
Registered
Nurses.
The
program
attempts
to
identify
and
meet
needs
not
being
met
by
other
military
or
civilian
programs
in
the
area.
The
main
function
of
the
Visiting
Nurse
is
to
provide
health
education
and
information
about
health-related
resources. The Society's Visiting Nurse Program has published the Your Baby and You: Birth to One Year — a publication designed to provide useful information on how to care for a child at home and also help decide when the child should be seen by a healthcare provider. To download a .PDF version of this publication, select the button below. Then print from the Acrobat command line.
The
Visiting
Nurse
is
available
to
make
hospital
or
home
visits
to
eligible
clients
in
the
interest
of
improving
their
quality
of
life
by
promoting
understanding
of
information
about
the
individual's
health
issues.
Visits
are
frequently
made
to
new
mothers
and
infants,
to
patients
recovering
from
surgery,
and
to
patients
with
chronic
health
problems.
The
Visiting
Nurse
will
see
patients
of
any
age. Referrals
to
the
Visiting
Nurse
may
be
made
by
military
or
civilian
doctors,
nurses,
or
social
workers,
or
the
patient
may
contact
the
Visiting
Nurse
directly
by
calling
(904)
270-5418. As with all of the Society's programs, Visiting Nurse services are delivered free of charge.
