Nursing Honor Society Joins The Jackson House

NPC Nursing Honors students in front of The Jackson HouseThe National Park College (NPC) Nursing Honor Society, Alpha Delta Nu Beta Lambda Chapter, planned and implemented a health promotion project with the Eleanor Klugh Jackson House. The students organized a stay warm items drive and educated on personal and dental hygiene. They were able to reach approximately 175 people. Each person was given hygiene tips and products, warm clothing items, and a list of community resources. This opportunity gave the students valuable insight into the everyday struggles of community members and gave them a better understanding of behaviors they may see in a patient-care setting.
