The World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Center in Home Care Nursing is one of 12 WHO Collaborating Centers in the US and one of 37 in the world. We work with the WHO and other WHO Collaborating Centers in Nursing and Midwifery.
The focus of the WHO Collaborating Center at Case is home care nursing -- the delivery of health care services in the home setting. Change in all parts of the world, from aging of the population, the increase in chronic diseases, and the development of infectious diseases, places a burden on the existing health care systems. Home care nursing is one solution to the problem.
