Community Collaborations

The Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing collaborates with institutions throughout Baltimore, such as schools, churches, homeless shelters, domestic violence shelters, and health clinics to benefit the community, educate nursing students, and enhance faculty practice.

The School manages three community clinics in East Baltimore: The Lillian Wald Community Nursing Center; a clinic at a domestic violence shelter, House of Ruth; and another at a senior citizen outreach facility, Isaiah Wellness Center.

Numerous other community-based partnerships make it possible for students to work in a wide range of community settings, including Bienestar, serving the Hispanic community.

In addition to the school-run programs, students also volunteer in other community service projects, including those at schools, health departments, churches, hospices, HIV AIDS clinics, and local community agencies. The Student Outreach Resource Center (SOURCE) organizes these community volunteer activities for all Johns Hopkins students in nursing, medicine, and public health.
