Neighborhood Nursing is trying to deliver primary care in a completely different way. The program brings together a nurse and community health worker connect with residents to support their health needs, door-to-door, block-to-block, and family-to-family. This new approach provides care for people at any stage of life, with any condition, regardless of insurance coverage.

The program is a collaboration of Johns Hopkins School of Nursing and nursing schools at Coppin State University, Morgan State University, and the University of Maryland, and is led by senior project manager Lisa Stambolis, CRNP.

The Tradeoffs Podcast and NPR talked with Dr. Sarah Szanton, creator of the program and Dean of the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing to learn more.

“I think of what we’re building as like pipes in a water system,” Szanton says, “Where there’s a resource that’s flowing to every household and that connects them to each other.”
