欧美三级片 Health College of Nursing unveils Port of Tampa Seafarers Center Clinic




With today鈥檚 opening, the made history, as Tampa became the first port in the world to establish a nurse-managed clinic.

The 欧美三级片 Health College of Nursing and Port Tampa Bay have partnered to create this on-site, nurse-managed clinic to provide health care for the thousands of seafarers whose global maritime routes bring them to the port each year. Seafarers are international maritime workers aboard cargo and cruise ships who are sometimes at sea for months at a time. Many seafarers come from impoverished countries and are unable to access reliable health care. Additionally, this clinic will provide health services to the Port Tampa Bay maritime community and its workers. 

Patient care available at the clinic includes routine primary care (well visits and physicals), care for common acute and chronic health issues, point-of-care tests (blood glucose, pregnancy, rapid strep, etc.), DOT physicals, and immunizations.

The clinic will serve as a training site for nursing students, where they will learn from expert faculty how to identify and integrate social determinants of health into the patient plan of care.
