The vision of the Community Nurse is ahealthy and productive community where all residents have access to quality healthcare.

There was at one time a "community nurse."  She was situated in an office on the second floor of a building in downtown La Grange.  Residents would visit her when they could not see the doctor.  In 1921, the Community Nurse Health Association was founded.  Today, the organization provides an invaluable service to our communities.

So, c'mon out to a neighborhood fest and benefit a neighborhood association as well!
