The Maine Public Health Association is asking for the assistance of school nurses in a community needs assessment to help support communities when resources are limited and needs are high, particularly during public health emergencies. As an essential part of the public health system, you are invited to participate in this short survey. The unique perspectives of school nurses are crucial, as your experience and expertise provide a broad view of what's happening in our communities. Scan QR code with your phone to begin survey.
