ou will be introduced to the important work of population-based health in general and to the role of the public health nurse. Why should nurses who work in an institutional setting even concern themselves with what is going on in their community? Don’t nurses have enough to do to keep up with what is happening in their own practice? In their textbook, Population Health: Creating a Culture of Wellness, Nash, Fabius, Skoufalos, Clarke, and Horowitz (2016) provided an excellent idea of why population health is now becoming the wave of the future in health care. According to these authors, participants in a culture of health select lifestyles that foster health, which in turn reduces morbidity. Ultimately, participants in cultures of health and wellness use the health care system more appropriately, judiciously, and wisely. It is in everyone’s best interest to cultivate a culture of wellness in communities, states, and in the nation since we must accept that health care resources are finite, and reacting to illness is an expensive undertaking. Nurses must offer education to populations indicating that it is in everyone’s best interest for illness and injury to be prevented whenever possible.
