“Most nurses care for one patient at a time,” Gould says. “Community nursing is about offering wellness education and support to an entire population. Schaumburg Township has given me a wonderful opportunity and challenge.”

A 35-year veteran nurse, Gould will offer educational programs, facilitate support groups and provide care for patients, including:

Chronic disease management
Nutrition advice
Infant and child health and wellness services
General health education, such as stress management, mental health awareness and parenting
Referrals for patients with special healthcare needs and finding affordable medical care
Domestic violence and abuse referrals

The nurse will be on site Mondays through Thursdays from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Gould will have convenient walk-in hours between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. To schedule an appointment, email [email protected] or call 847-285-4551. Comments and suggestions for health and wellness offerings are always welcome.
