In 1987, six Canadian community health nursing leaders recognized the need for a national body to represent and advocate for the diverse practice of community health nursing and the health of communities. Their vision and action three decades ago resulted in the formation of the Community Health Nurses of Canada (CHNC), a national professional nursing association. This paper will describe the development of CHNC from an early vision to a recognized centre of excellence for community health nursing in Canada. Significant milestones described include developing structures to advance excellence in practice, creating and acting on a vision, advancing leadership capacity, supporting professional development and promoting best practice, advancing community health nursing in undergraduate education and advocating for health policy.
1987年，六位加拿大社区健康护理领域的领军人物意识到，需要有一个全国性机构来代表并倡导社区健康护理的多样化实践以及社区健康。他们三十年前的愿景与行动促成了加拿大社区健康护理协会（CHNC）的成立，这是一个全国性的专业护理协会。本文将描述CHNC从早期愿景发展成为加拿大公认的社区健康护理卓越中心的历程。所描述的重要里程碑包括构建促进卓越实践的架构、基于愿景开展行动、提升领导能力、支持专业发展并推广最佳实践、推动社区健康护理纳入本科教育以及倡导健康政策。
