HOME CARE NURSES

Registered nurses from the Wayne County Department of Public Health provide skilled home care for people with illness or have been in the hospital.

They keep your physician updated on your recovery, and perform skilled tasks such as drawing blood for lab tests, giving medicine by injection, caring for a wound, or teaching you and your family about your medications & treatments. Public health nurses help you return to your independent lifestyle, and are knowledgeable of resources in our community. They can also make referrals to several different agencies in the community.

Nursing services are funded by Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans Affairs, private insurance, grants, and the Wayne County Board of Supervisors.

A public health nurse is always on call 24/7
