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.

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.
