Nursing Services focuses on three areas:
- Clinical and Client Care
- Home and Community Care
- Communicable Disease Control
Clinical and Client Care
Clinical and Client Care consists of essential health care services directed towards First Nations individuals, living primarily in remote and isolated communities. The services aim to enable these individuals to receive the clinical care they need in their home communities.
For a complete description, including objectives and components, see the FNHA Programs and Services guide.
Home and Community Care
Home and Community Care is a coordinated system of home and community health care services. The services aim to enable First Nations people of all ages with disabilities or chronic or acute illnesses as well as the elderly to receive the care they need in their homes and communities.
For a complete description, including objectives and components, see the FNHA Programs and Services guide.
Communicable Disease Control
The primary focus of the Communicable Disease Control Team is to ensure that current practice and new developments in Communicable Disease Control and population and public health prevention programs are delivered with a First Nations focus.
