Public Health Nursing

Public Health Nurses serve our communities with compassion, respect, and a commitment to holistic well-being.
Grounded in Ho-Chunk values, we focus on the prevention of illness, chronic disease and injury, while promoting mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing.

What We Do:

• Support for Mothers and Families
  Home visits, prenatal and postpartum care, newborn screenings, and parenting support to ensure strong, healthy starts for our youngest tribal members.
• Promote Wellness and Prevent Illness
  Education and outreach focused on healthy living, chronic disease prevention, nutrition, and physical activity—all grounded in a wellness-based approach.
• Protect Community Health
  Immunizations, communicable disease tracking, outbreak response, and partnerships that help protect the health of our people.
• Culturally-Aware Health Education
  Sharing knowledge through health fairs, talking circles, and community events—guided by traditional values and teachings.
