Henry Street Consortium
The Henry Street Consortium, an academic and practice collaboration, was established in 2001 by five baccalaureate schools of nursing, thirteen local health departments and the Minnesota Department of Health. The Consortium's goal was to prepare baccalaureate level nurses with the competencies necessary for entry into population-based public health nursing practice.
To achieve this goal, the Consortium worked together to develop a set of resources, below. Even though the grant that ignited the Henry Street Consortium ended in 2005, the Consortium continues to be a vibrant and broadened collaboration with additional schools of nursing and partners who also have a population focus.
