Researching a Clinic or Agency Within the Community

Research the clinic or agency to obtain a clear idea of the services provided and the specific population it serves.

Select a clinic or community agency within the community. The organization you select must serve the needs of a vulnerable population group. It is not necessary for you to make an on-site visit.

Provide the following:

• Name of agency and why you selected this agency;
• Brief history and mission of the agency;
• Target population the agency serves;
• Services and programs offered;
• What criteria must clients meet to be served by the agency?
• What you found interesting about this agency or helpful for you as a professional nurse?
