By Suzanne Ridgway. Lllian Wald was born into a comfortable Jewish family in 1867, but chose to work in the tenements of New York City. She coined the phrase âpublic health nursingâ and is considered to be the founder of that profession. Lillian was educated at a private boarding school.
A community nurse may provide direct care, educate individuals or the public, advocate for health improvements and perform research in community health. She might also lead or collaborate with other health care professionals, organizations, political figures and members of the community to promote health for her community.
