Overview

Public health nurses promote and cultivate systems-level improvements in their community, with a focus on primary prevention, through adherence to the principles and standards of Public Health Nursing, and direct application of the Public Health Nurse Competencies. The role of public health nurse presents a unique opportunity to have broad, meaningful impact on the health and well-being of specific populations and ensure health equity. This position will work with the community partners and systems (direct health care, schools, other state agencies) involved in the care of families and children in Bennington County to foster coordination and collaboration and promote best population outcomes. This is not a direct care/clinical care or individual case management position. This position is a hybrid position.

\ The Family and Child Health Coordinator focus on eliminating health disparities and increasing health equity for people of reproductive age, people who are pregnant and post-partum, infants, children, and families in Bennington County. This important work, with a focus on prevention across the lifespan including preconception, achieves long term, sustainable impacts on the health of this population by developing and maintaining relationships with the local systems of care for children and families. Although there is some interaction with direct service providers in the community, the FCH Coordinator primarily provides a public health perspective to direct service work and encourages coordination of services. The role of School Liaison involves close communication and collaboration with school personnel (e.g., nurses, administrators, counselors, teachers) to help schools address the health and wellness needs of their students and achieve optimal physical, social, and emotional health within their school communities. The liaison promotes access to care among school-aged children, provides support and technical assistance to school nurses, and provides guidance and technical assistance to school wellness committees in the planning and proposed implementation of goals and objectives and proposed reinvestment of Medicaid funding.
