Nurse Community Outreach

Nurse community outreach

Memorial Hospital in Belleville and Memorial Hospital in Shiloh provide numerous opportunities for employees—including nurses—to participate in community outreach events, including:

Health fairs and screening events

Nurses provide different health screenings including blood pressure, blood glucose, bone density, and respiratory capacity. Health fairs and screening events are held at various locations such as schools, churches, and event spaces.

Life Support (BLS) training

Throughout the year, nurses can volunteer to help teach BLS at area high schools.

Medical Explorers Program

The Medical Explorers Program allows high school students to experience different health care settings and identify future career opportunities. Nursing plays a large role in the success of the Medical Explorers Program, offering students hands-on opportunities within the hospital to see different departments, learn about procedures, and understand nursing care responsibilities.
