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

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

One basic local government has the functions of a "municipal health center" that is responsible for maternal and child health and the elderly, and a health center that is responsible for dealing with infectious diseases, support for people with disabilities, and incurable disease patients.
We also work with multidisciplinary organizations and related organizations to address issues unique to large cities, such as health disparities, isolation and abuse.

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

We carry out health activities according to local characteristics by combining the work sharing system and the district sharing system.
Utilizing Yokohama City's unique budget called "Promotion for Creating Unique Wards", planning and initiatives in collaboration with residents are also possible.
In addition, the “Nursing Staff Meeting” is held as a place for cross-disciplinary collaboration among public health nurses, and is used as a place to share issues across departments and consider improvement measures.
