Long before the World Health Conference at Alma-Ata, when 113 nations agreed to incorporate the concepts and principles of primary health care in their health care systems (World Health Organization [WHO], 1978), nurses were practicing primary health care. Indeed, such care has been practiced since the time of Florence Nightingale. Here, in the United States, the records show that public health nurses were involved in numerous primary health care activities in the early and mid-1900s (Fitzpatrick, 1975).
早在阿拉木图世界卫生大会召开之前，当时113个国家同意将初级卫生保健的概念和原则纳入其卫生保健系统（世界卫生组织[WHO]，1978年），护士们就一直在践行初级卫生保健。事实上，自弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔时代起就一直有这样的护理实践。在美国，记录显示公共卫生护士在20世纪初和中期参与了众多初级卫生保健活动（菲茨帕特里克，1975年）。
