Position registered nurses within a parish or similar faith community, or in a health care system to serve as a liaison to congregations; also called parish nursing or congregational nursing

Provide outreach and support to assist those whose employers do not offer affordable coverage, who are self-employed, or who are unemployed

Use broad media-based efforts to educate large groups of current and potential tobacco users about the dangers of tobacco use

Distribute Naloxone to trained community members and first responders to reverse opioid overdoses

Establish programs that accept expired, unwanted, or unused medicines from designated users and dispose of them responsibly
