Nursing centers offer an opportunity to test new models of health care delivery that emphasize health promotion for individuals, families, and whole communities. The Lundeen Community Nursing Center (CNC) model is a community partnership approach to the promotion of health. Organizational principles that guide the development of this model focus on a holistic theoretical framework; continuous community assessment; collegial interdisciplinary relationships; community-wide programming; computerized health-focused clinical documentation of client issues and provider interventions: and integration of health care professional's education, clinical and health services research, and policy activities. Data from one CNC demonstration site document the extensive emphasis on health promotion activities. A series of principles that facilitate the development of community nursing centers based on this model is presented.
