For their capstone project, students from the Kirkhof College of Nursing compiled resources in Grand Rapids' Heartside neighborhood to aid homeless people.
The students in Nancy Schoofs’ Professional Nursing course were
completing their community health clinical experience. Schoofs,
associate professor of nursing, said after their assessment, students
created a resource board for the Mel Trotter Day Center. The board
indicates where Heartside residents can go for a shower, meals,
counseling and other services.
They presented their research December 4 at Mel Trotter Ministries.
