The major focus of the presentation will be the seamless transition of a nurse-managed primary care practice from a University to within a not for profit public health agency, to ensure long term sustainability. This transition was shaped by agreements that allow the community-served, the Department of Nursing, the College of Health Professions and the University to continue to benefit from practice related service, education and research opportunities in primary care, health promotion and disease prevention. The issues addressed in the numerous agreements, the negotiations toward consensus and the involvement of the Community Advisory Board will be shared. Without the transition, the primary care practice within this academic nursing center created by a response to a request for proposals from the Division of Nursing within the Bureau of Health Professions, Health Research and Service Administration would be closing.
