Practice
Community Practice Partnerships
We have a long history of providing care to our neighbors through two Loyola Nursing-managed clinical sites: one for high school students in Maywood, and another for seniors in Rogers Park.
Through these community practice partnerships, we’re providing invaluable clinical and research opportunities for our students. At the same time, we’re building vital connections and giving back to our communities while helping build a stronger, healthier Chicago.
School-Based Health Center
Each year, more than 50 students and dietetic interns work alongside primary care providers at Loyola’s School-Based Health Center (SBHC) at Proviso East High School in Maywood, where they learn how to care for a diverse student population. The SBHC offers a full range of primary health care, nutrition, and mental health services tailored to the needs of adolescents who live in an urban area. It reaches 1,800 students annually.
Community Nursing Center
For more than 30 years, the Loyola Community Nursing Center has served the diverse communities of Rogers Park, Edgewater, and Uptown that surround Loyola’s Lake Shore Campus. Supervised by nursing faculty, students gain clinical experience, while providing the area's seniors with health services.
