Target of Yokohama City Public Health Nurse / Characteristics of Yokohama City Public Health Nurse

The required staff image of Yokohama City is "the staff who loves Yokohama, is trusted by the citizens, and thinks and acts on their own."
In addition, the image of staff required by public health nurses in Yokohama is positioned as a "philosophy" and its goals are clarified.
And as a word I want to value as a public health nurse in Yokohama, I raise "trust" and work on my daily work.

One basic municipality has the functions of a municipal health center, which is responsible for maternal and child and the elderly health care, and a health center, which is responsible for dealing with infectious diseases, supporting persons with disabilities, and supporting incurable disease patients.
We also work with multiple occupations and related organizations to address issues unique to large cities, such as health disparities, isolation and abuse, and value trust.

Approximately 500 public health nurses are active in various departments, including staff, full-time workers with careers, chiefs, section managers, and general managers.
There are many synchronized colleagues and male public health nurses, and you can share various experiences.
In life events such as child care and nursing care, it is an environment where you can work with friends while using various systems.

We use the work sharing system and the district sharing system together to conduct health activities according to regional characteristics.
Utilizing Yokohama City's unique budget called "Promotion Fee for Creating a Unique Ward", planning and initiatives in collaboration with residents are also possible. .
In addition, we hold a “Nursing Staff Meeting” as a place for cross-disciplinary cooperation among public health nurses, and use it as a place to share issues across departments and consider improvement measures.
