Public health
nursing in the United States traces back to a nurse named Lillian
Wald who, in 1893, established the Henry Street Settlement House
in New York City and coined the phrase, "public health nurse." The
Florida Office of Public Health Nursing was established in January
2002 to support the mission of the Department of Health by
addressing nursing issues and to respond to the threat of an
increasing nursing shortage. A taskforce identified the structure
needed to provide statewide leadership and to support excellence
in public health nursing practice.

-

Nursing Leadership calls
