Neighborhood Nursing in Baltimore is trying to turn primary care on its head. Its teams of nurses and community health workers are making weekly visits to the lobbies of three apartment buildings in Johnston Square, a predominantly Black neighborhood. By next year, the team aims to visit more than 4,000 people in the Baltimore metropolitan area at least once a year. The project, a collaboration with the Coppin State, Morgan State and University of Maryland nursing schools, is still in its pilot phase, building trust and gathering feedback. By 2025, staff members hope to expand their services to four neighborhoods — two in Baltimore, one suburban and one more rural.
