SECTION III: Facilities, Resources, and Services


Center for Nursing Entrepreneurship (CNE)

The CNE houses innovative community-based clinical services designed and operated by the School of Nursing. The clinical services meet specific needs in the community, serving underrepresented children, international travelers, and employees with health risks. Our clinical mission also provides unique practice opportunities for nurses and nurse practitioners. Currently, there are four clinical service lines:

  • Passport Health: Passport Health is a nurse-run clinic that provides comprehensive services to international travelers- individuals, families, and groups. Services include an intake assessment, individualized interventions including education, immunization(s), travel products, and a “customized” travel guide specific to the travel region.

  • Center for Employee Wellness (CEW), branded in the community as UR Medicine Employee Wellness: The CEW provides clinical services focused on maximizing the health and well-being of employees and their workplaces. The CEW collaborates with health plans, organizations, and benefit brokers to assess and meet the health and wellness needs of various employer groups in the region. The menu of services includes comprehensive personal health assessments, which include on-site biometric screenings, online lifestyle and behavior assessment, secure web-based employee portal, which includes summary risk profiles with customized recommendations. The program also includes one-to-one wellness coaching for chronic condition management or lifestyle risks. The CEW also provides executive-level process and outcomes reporting, which informs decisions about program development, measures program success, and details return on investment.

  • School-Based Health Centers (SBHC): The nurse practitioner-run (NP) clinics provide primary and mental health care services to some of the most vulnerable children in the community. The NPs also provide primary prevention services and promote healthy lifestyle choices.

  • WNY Comprehensive Care Center for Eating Disorders Directed out of the University of Rochester School of Nursing, the Western New York Comprehensive Care Center for Eating Disorders serves as the hub for eating disorder services in the 30-county Western New York Region. It is one of three legislatively mandated care centers for eating disorders funded by the New York State Department of Health.
