PHN Resources

A variety of documents are being produced for the KRISP Project LHDs. We hope that these are useful to public health nurses working in other LHDs as well. Most of these are brief summaries that are intended to be used in conjunction with some education or in-service training. Many of the documents could be used with your human resource department, board of health members, or other public health professionals in addition to the public health nurses.
