Our Members One of our Community-based RNs, was working with a member when it became evident that the member and her seven-year- old son were living out of their car. Our Community-based RN determined that the son was suffering from a condition requiring surgery. In less than one week, our Community-based RN scheduled the surgery and coordinated the follow-up care for the mother. She worked with a local agency to provide housing services for the family. The surgery was successful and the young boy was able to recover in the newly established housing. 12
