Community Outreach Program (COP) at the Johns Hopkins University’s School of Nursing is a service-learning collaboration among the Hopkins SON Department of Community-Public Health Nursing; SOURCE; and various community-based organizations. Hopkins SON Public Health Nursing Program established the COP in 1991 to improve the health of Baltimore’s urban community while engaging students in the complex practical issues surrounding public health. Primarily (but not exclusively) targeting East and Southeast Baltimore, the SON COP enables students and faculty to provide innovative community health care and education to individuals and families in urban inner city neighborhoods. Ultimately, the pro­gram aims to prepare students to apply the lessons and skills learned in this envi­ronment to similar situations around the world.
