		<description>Nurses are glossed over in this model, and yet, &lt;strong&gt;nurses provide the vast majority of direct public healthcare in community settings and nursing care in schools.&lt;/strong&gt;  School nurses, mentioned in the proposal, have had their positions stretched so thin that they no longer have anything near a managable case load.  Many school nurses oversee three or more schools and up to 3000 students, staff and faculty.

My fear is that until universal healthcare is introduced in some iteration, that this &quot;new layer&quot; of preventive care will languish.

In the interim, may I suggest that interested people contact their local municipal or country department of health and volunteer to serve as a community advisor?  You will learn first hand what the primary community health issues are that face your community and impact you directly.

Grassroots volunteer activism with public health and community health agencies is deperately needed. You will be able to support school health, community mental health services, address safe and accessible venues for community exercise and activity, support community nutrition programs, help to address safe housing supplies and serve as a vital link between healthcare providers and citizens.</description>
