Abstract:
This article describes a nurse-managed community health outreach project, at the Health Promotion Center (HPC) of Fairfield University School of Nursing, to prevent cardiovascular disease in an inner-city community. Flexibility in the project's grant funding has enabled the HPC to use a customer-oriented approach to develop programs. The article details the application of community health nursing and quality management practices to the development of HPC's cardiovascular-disease-screening program.
