About Us

At The Public Health Nurse Collaborative (PHNC), we operate at the powerful intersection of science, nursing, public health, and patient experience. We believe that true health transformation happens when evidence-based practices are combined with compassionate care and systems-level thinking.

Rooted in the scientific method and informed by clinical expertise, our work bridges the gap between data and lived experience. As a public health nurse led consulting firm, we bring a unique lens—one that honors both the human side of healthcare and the structural forces that shape health outcomes. Our approach is grounded in community, equity, measurable improvement and mentorship.

Whether advancing quality initiatives, amplifying the voice of patients, or translating research into practice, we strive to create change that is not only informed—but felt. Our mission is to elevate the standards of care, strengthen healthcare systems, and advocate for better experiences for every patient, provider, and population we serve.
