Nurse 4 - Public Health Nurse - TB Services

Grow your career in the Winnipeg Health Region. Our team provides a spectrum of health care services through an integrated network of sites, services and organizations. We’re united by a shared commitment to excellent and equitable health care.

The role of the PHN is to apply public health science and nursing theory to promote, protect and preserve the health of populations. Services may be directed to individuals, families, groups or communities across the life span. PHNs apply appropriate strategies to prevent injuries, chronic and communicable diseases such as TB, address environmental issues, and promote reproductive and sexual health.

PHNs strive to improve the health of all people and reduce inequities among populations by addressing determinants of health. They provide services in communities, across communities and across the region. PHNs work collaboratively within the Population Public Health team and with colleagues in other programs, sectors and organizations.

Under the direction of Manager, Health Services, PHNs work respectfully in and with diversity including sexual and gender minorities, across all ethnicities and circumstances. They support self-determination through activities such as pregnancy counselling and respect client decisions on infant feeding, immunization status and reproductive behaviour. PHNs promote empowerment and community engagement consistent with a population health approach.
